In Latin, gold is "aurum" and silver is "argentum." The French Or and Argent come from the Latin. While it is true that at first it appears to come from French for "auro" and "argento," that's only when you don't know more about Latin. In Latin, nouns end with different letters depending on how the noun is used in a sentence.

"aurum" can be said as "auro," and "argentum" can also be said as "argento."

As such, it is actually debatable whether what is meant here is the Latin spelling or the Japanese pronunciation of the French "Or" and "Argent." Honestly, both are possible.
