copperware

/kˈɑpɚwˌɛɹ/ noun

Articles made from copper.

Word Origin 'Copper' comes from Latin 'Cyprium', meaning 'metal of Cyprus', where copper was mined. 'Ware' from Proto-Germanic 'warō' (commodity, goods). So 'copperware' is goods made of copper. The same roots give us 'coppersmith', 'copperplate', 'hardware', 'software', 'earthenware'. The 'ware' root also gives us 'aware', 'beware', 'wary' — originally 'careful'.
