Etymology
The word 'corrode' originated from the Latin word 'corrodere', which means 'to gnaw away'. It first appeared in English during the 16th century. The concept of corrosion has been known to humans since ancient times, as they observed the gradual decay of metals and other materials. The understanding of corrosion has since evolved, leading to advancements in materials science and engineering.
