bronce
/ˈbɾonθe/ · B2 · noun · m
bronze
🥉 bronce sounds like BRONZE: swap the z for a c, same metal
Spanish bronce and English bronze both come from Italian bronzo. Say BRON-the (Spain) or BRON-se (Latin America) and the stem BRON- stays the same. Link it to the third-place medal, the bronze medal, which in Spanish is medalla de bronce.
