Italian
Pronunciation
Etymology 1
Attestions begin in northern Italy, and include bronzo in a Latin context in Liber consuetudinum Mediolani (1216); Lombard bronz, bronzo in Liber di Tre Scricciur, 1274; Venetan brondi ? in a semi-Latin document from Verona, 1339.
Immediately, possibly from Latin *brundium, or directly from Latin brandisium (var.: bra-/-i/-o), attested in recipes of bronze from the 8th-9th centuries CE. Related to Byzantine Greek βροντησίον (brontēsíon, “bronze”) (11th century), also from alchemy books.
Several theories exist for the earlier stages:
- The Greek has long been derived from Βρεντέσιον (Brentésion, “Brindisi”), known for the manufacture of bronze, or perhaps through a Vulgar Latin *aes brundusi(um), from the name of the same city.
- Alternatively from βροντή (brontḗ, “thunder”), via Byzantine Greek developments, due to the use of the metal in noise and sound producing devices. Or a related onomatopoeic theory, connecting may sonorous objects under the one family.
- More recently the Italian has ben connected ultimately with Persian برنج (berenj, beranj, “brass”) ~ پرنگ (pereng, “copper”),
- Among western languages, perhaps from Lombardic brunst (“burning, fire”), from Proto-Germanic *brunstiz, related to German Brunst, English burn. Less likely linked to Germanic through a Late Latin or Vulgar Latin *brunitius, related to Italian bruno (“brown”) and bruniccio (“brown”).
Reborrowed as Renaissance Latin bronzium, from the early 1400s. Although the earlier attestations intertwine with Latin, deep into the 16th century, Palladio still capitalized, and noted that the word is vulgar, that is, vernacular or dialectical.
