Origin Late Middle English: from Latin corrodere, from cor- (expressing intensive force) + rodere 'gnaw'. The second part of corrode is the same as the first part of rodent—a clue to the meaning of their Latin source rodere. It means ‘to gnaw’, so when something is corroded it is gradually worn away, as if by gnawing.
