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 been 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. ==== Noun ==== bronzo m (plural bronzi) bronze (metal or object) bell, especially church bell ===== Related terms ===== === Etymology 2 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Verb ==== bronzo first-person singular present indicative of bronzare === References === === Further reading === bronzo in Treccani.it – Vocabolario Treccani on line, Istituto dell'Enciclopedia Italiana
