Word origin
The word 'rot' originated from the Old English word 'rotian', meaning to decay or putrefy. Over time, it has evolved to encompass both the noun form referring to a type of bread roll and the verb form describing the process of decay. The concept of rotting has long been associated with the natural cycle of life and death, highlighting the inevitable breakdown and decomposition of organic matter.
