Etymology
The word 'rubber' is derived from the Spanish word 'caucho,' which means 'rubber tree.' The material was first used in the 18th century for making erasers, which is how it got its name. The term 'rubbery' appeared later, describing a texture reminiscent of rubber, characterized by elasticity and flexibility. The formation of the superlative 'rubberiest' follows standard English linguistic rules, applying the suffix '-iest' to convey the maximum degree of the quality. This reflects the evolving usage of the term as people began to articulate variations in the texture and properties of materials that possess rubber-like characteristics.
