obryzum

== Latin == === Alternative forms === OB obrizum === Etymology === Borrowed from Ancient Greek ὄβρυζον (óbruzon, “pure gold”), from ὄβρυζος (óbruzos, “pure”) – whence Latin obryzus –, from ὄβρυζα (óbruza, “assaying of gold”) – whence Latin obrussa (“assay of gold”). Ultimately from Hurrian 𒂁𒄷𒌋𒌒𒊒𒍑𒄭 (DUG.ḫu-u-ub-ru-uš-ḫi /⁠ḫubrušḫi⁠/, “crucible, smelter, melting-pot”), likely via the route of Hittite 𒄷𒌒𒊒𒍑𒄭 (ḫu-up-ru-uš-ḫi /⁠ḫuprušḫi-⁠/). For further connections see its descendant the Arabic إِبْرِيز (ʔibrīz, “pure gold”). === Noun === obryzum n (genitive obryzī); second declension (chiefly money) pure gold ==== Declension ==== Second-declension noun (neuter). ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → Arabic: إِبْرِيز (ʔibrīz)
