Etimología (Inglés)

Heredado de latín: cyprium (aes)

Cognado con portugués: cobre

Cognado con catalán: coure

In summary

Inherited from Late Latin cuprum (“copper”), from Latin cyprium (aes) (“Cypriot copper”), from Ancient Greek Κύπρος (Kúpros), because Cyprus was its chief source. The irregular evolution of this term in Spanish and other Ibero-Romance languages like Portuguese cobre (with the expected result being *cobro) has been suggested to perhaps be due to some influence from Catalan coure, although this is uncertain because of the discrepancy between the internal consonants and the unusual idea of just altering the final consonants due to foreign influence. More likely, it may have been informally influenced by alambre (older arambre), originally meaning bronze in Old Spanish.
