Best Answer

It probably ultimately comes from an Akkadian root word sarapu meaning to refine or smelt, but no one is really certain. The metal has been called by a name vaguely resembling "silver" in a large variety of northern and eastern European languages. Examples: German silber, Dutch zilver, Russian serebro.
