Argentina [SEP] Name and etymology
The description of the country by the word "Argentina" has been found on a Venetian map in 1536. In English, the name "Argentina" comes from the Spanish language; however, the naming itself is not Spanish, but Italian. "Argentina" (masculine "argentino") means in Italian "(made) of silver, silver coloured", probably borrowed from the Old French adjective "argentine" "(made) of silver" > "silver coloured" already mentioned in the 12th century. The French word "argentine" is the feminine form of "argentin" and derives from "argent" "silver" with the suffix "-in" (same construction as Old French "acerin" "(made) of steel", from "acier" "steel" + "-in", or "sapin" "(made) of fir wood", from OF "sap" "fir" + "-in").
