==Origin==
Rust is named after the resulting phenomenon of the oxidation of [[Chemistry:Iron|iron]].  The word 'rust' finds its etymological origins in the Proto-Germanic word ''rusta'', which translates to "redness."  The word is closely related to the term "ruddy," which also refers to a reddish coloring in an object.
