- The mark left by a wound
Welsh
Etymology
Inherited from Middle Welsh eur, from Proto-Brythonic *ėür, from Vulgar Latin, from Latin aureus (“golden”, adjective). The vowel au (/aɨ̯/) must have undergone internal i-affection, showing that this word is derived from the adjective aureus, not the noun aurum, which gave the now obsolete synonym awr (not to be confused with awr (“hour”) from hōra).
Pronunciation
- (North Wales) IPA(key): /aɨ̯r/
- (South Wales) IPA(key): /ai̯r/
Noun
aur m (usually uncountable, plural eurau)
Adjective
aur (feminine singular aur, plural aur, not comparable)
- golden (made of gold)
- gold (in colour)
- (figurative) golden
