Etymology
From Proto-Finnic *vaski, from Proto-Uralic *wäśkä ~ *waśke. Cognate with Estonian vask, Erzya уське (uśke) and Hungarian vas. Originally meant “copper” in a broad sense; displaced later by borrowings (e.g. kupari (“copper”), pronssi (“bronze”), messinki (“brass”)) in practically all of these senses, and now only used in specialized or archaic contexts.

vas'.
