aur

Wikipedia ^cy

Etymology

From Middle Welsh eur, from Proto-Brythonic *ėür, from Vulgar Latin from Latin aureus (“golden”, adjective). The vowel au (/aɨ̯/) must have undergone internal i-affection, showing that this word is derived from the adjective aureus, not the noun aurum, which gave the now archaic synonym awr (not to be confused with awr (“hour”) from hōra).

Pronunciation

• (North Wales) IPA^(key): /aɨ̯r/
• (South Wales) IPA^(key): /ai̯r/

Noun

aur m (usually uncountable, plural eurau)

1. gold

Adjective

aur (feminine singular aur, plural aur, not comparable)

1. golden (made of gold)
2. gold (in colour)
3. (figurative) golden

Related terms

• euraid (“golden”)
• euro (“to gild”)
