Etymology edit
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”).
