Iron as in irony?

- mkl95 4y agoI don't know if you are joking or being serious, but TIL iron is of Germanic origin and irony's origin is the romanization of a Greek word. This also explains why the words for iron and irony are so different in Romance languages, and why iron and irony are pronounced so differently. On the other hand felon was copied verbatim from Old French.
