It all first started with the Lithunian language which was called sidabras. Then from the Germanic language Old High German derived it from the lithunian language and was called silbar.Next, the Middle Old English derived it from the lithunian and called it seolfor. Last, the Middle English derived from the preceding language again that last altered the word and is the word silver.
