The word silver is a noun, an adjective, and a verb. Example uses:Noun: The price of silver is steadily rising.Adjective: I really love silver jewelery.Verb: Counterfeiters silver base metals to mimic the genuine coins.
The term "sterling silver" actually comes from the "pound sterling," the unit of British currency. British silver coinage was for hundreds of years (excepting various bouts of debasing over the years) 92.5% pure. Thus, "sterling silver," which is 92.5% pure, merely refers to silver which is as pure as the pound sterling. As a historical note, the purity of silver in British coinage was reduced in 1920 to 50% silver, and in 1947, silver was replaced with a cupro-nickel alloy in British "silver" coinage.
