Word origin
The word 'rusty' originated from the Old English word 'rustig', meaning 'covered with rust'. The term has been used since the 14th century to describe objects that have oxidized. Over time, it has also been used metaphorically to refer to skills or abilities that have deteriorated due to lack of use or practice.
