Etymology

The term 'rust' has Old English origins, with roots in the Proto-Germanic word 'rustaz' meaning 'redness'. It has been used to describe the reddish-brown coating on metals since ancient times. The process of rusting has been a challenge for metalworkers throughout history, leading to the development of various methods to prevent or slow down corrosion.
