I'm curious about the metal called Argent. I want to know more about this metal, like its properties, uses, and maybe even its history. But first, I need to confirm what exactly Argent is.

    The origin of the name is traced back to Latin, where "argentum" holds the meaning of "silver" or "white metal".

    The term "argent" carried the same significance in Old French blazon, a heraldic tradition involving the detailed description of coats of arms.

    From Old French, the word "argent" made its way into the English language, retaining its original meaning.

    One such method involved the application of silver leaf to those sections of the coat of arms that were intended to be represented as argent.
