Etymology of COPPER
The word "copper" originates from the Old English word "coper" or "copor", which itself was derived from the late Latin word "cuprum". This Latin word was a nod to the island of Cyprus, where copper deposits were found and mined in ancient times. The Latin term "cuprum" was likely influenced by the ancient Greek word "kyprios", which also referred to the island of Cyprus. Over time, the word "coper" in Old English evolved into "copper" as we know it today.
