Talk:suberose

Something interesting
Our etymology/sense comes from Latin suber (cork). Chambers 1908 has an entry for this word that derives it from sub, erosus, e (out), rodere/rosum (gnaw), and defines it as "appearing as if somewhat gnawed". Is this a mix-up, or is there in fact a second ety/sense along these lines? Equinox ◑ 19:56, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
