Origin of the word rubbery

The word "rubbery" originates from the Latin words "ruber," meaning "red" or "red-colored," and the suffix "-y," which forms an adjective indicating a quality or characteristic. In the 14th century, the term "rubbery" emerged, initially referring to something having a reddish or reddish-brown color, such as the color of rubber. Over time, the meaning of the word shifted to describe materials or textures that have a soft, pliable, and rubber-like quality. Today, "rubbery" is used to describe objects that exhibit these characteristics, such as rubber gloves or a rubbery texture in food.
