Where did iron get its name?

riotgrrl

According to http://www.yourDictionary.com 'Iron' comes from the Middle/Old English 'iren', which comes indirectly from the Indo-European root 'eis-'. In other words, the word has been around for millennia (I would guess, since the Iron Age. Probably little use for it in the Stone Age) Jan 10 03, 12:22 AM
