What’s the word for the rust on the iron though?
- Mlller 3y ago“robigo”, genitive “robiginis”, feminine.
- db48x 3y agoAh, I guess that makes sense. “rust” comes from the PIE word for red via German, and “ruby” comes from the same PIE word for red via Latin. So it makes sense that the Latin word for “rust” would be similar to the Latin word for “red” :)
