PronunciationEdit

Etymology 1Edit

The name euro was the winner of a contest open to the general public to propose names for the new European currency, and as such is technically a neologism, although it obviously alludes to the common root of geographical names for the continent Europe, derived from Latin Europa, from Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη (Eurṓpē), the name in Greek mythology of a princess, abducted by Zeus as a bull across the Bosphorus.

Usage notesEdit

All currencies in Ido are to be considered as foreign words. Thus, the plural are borrowed as well (euros). Though, because of the frequency of the currency, many treat the word as native (thus the plura form euri).
