'Fool's gold' is an English equivalent of 'El oro de los tontos'. As is the case with the English phrase, the Spanish phrase is a nickname for 'pyrite' or 'iron pyrite'.

The masculine singular definite article 'el' means 'the'. The masculine noun 'oro' means 'gold'. The preposition 'de' means 'of, from'. The masculine singular definite article 'los' means 'the'. The masculine adjective/noun 'tontos' means 'foolish, silly people'.

All together, they're pronounced 'eh-LOH-roh theh loh-STOHN-tos'.
