| 词汇 | bronze |
| 词源 | bronze. Many scholars trace the word bronze to the late Lat- in brundisium, “brass from Brundisium,” Brundisium being the modern Adriatic city of Brindisi. But since that city doesn’t produce exceptional brass or bronze, the derivation is doubt- ful. Another possible source is the Persian birindj, “alloy.” In any case, bronze is a fairly modern word, first recorded in 1721. |
