The English pronunciation of the word 'cuprum' is the following: KYOO-prum; or KOO-prum. It is the Latin word for 'copper'. The original word was 'cyprium', which meant ''metal of Cyprus'. For it was mined on the island during ancient Roman times. But over time, the word changed to its present form as 'cuprum'.
