za‧fra

Pronounced as (IPA)

/ˈθafɾa/

Etymology

Borrowed from Arabic: صَفْرَاء

Borrowed from Arabic: سَفْرة

In summary

Said to be from Arabic صَفْرَاء (ṣafrāʔ, “yellow”) because of its being made of brass (Arabic صُفْر (ṣufr), whence Spanish azófar). The resemblance with Arabic صَفَّى (ṣaffā, “to filter”), مِصْفاة (miṣfāh, “colander”) is then coincidental.
