"varš" meaning in Latvian

See varš in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Apparently from earlier Proto-Baltic *varyas (adjective), referring to some metallic property: maybe its easy melting (Proto-Indo-European *wor-yo-, from *wor- (“to boil, to melt”)), maybe its flexibility (Proto-Indo-European *wer-yo- from *wer- (“to turn, to bend”)). Either way, the Baltic terms are quite unique within Indo-European; other branches have non-cognate terms for “copper”, like Latin cuprum (cf. Latvian kapars) or Russian медь (medʹ). Cognates include Lithuanian vãrias, vãris, Old Prussian wargien.

  "etymology_text": "Apparently from earlier Proto-Baltic *varyas (adjective), referring to some metallic property: maybe its easy melting (Proto-Indo-European *wor-yo-, from *wor- (“to boil, to melt”)), maybe its flexibility (Proto-Indo-European *wer-yo- from *wer- (“to turn, to bend”)). Either way, the Baltic terms are quite unique within Indo-European; other branches have non-cognate terms for “copper”, like Latin cuprum (cf. Latvian kapars) or Russian медь (medʹ). Cognates include Lithuanian vãrias, vãris, Old Prussian wargien.",
