Corrode (V): Destroy by chemical action.This word can be broken up as “cor” which is a variant of co, which means “together, jointly” and “rodere”, which means, “to gnaw”. This word can be associated to a group of animals that we know i.e. Rodents.
Rodent (N): A mammal of order Rodentia characterized by strong and continuously growing incisor teeth and absence of canine teeth. These animals have to gnaw at things continuously to control the length of their teeth. (Quite an exercise isn’t it).Ex: Rats, Squirrel, Mice, Beavers.
Erode (V): Eat away.“E” means “out, thoroughly” and rodere = gnaw
Regards,
V
