Roman things are returned in rubber. Eraser - but why? Obviously the definition is "rubber" and I can see "are" "returned". I cannot get the last bit. I suspect I'm going to get a lesson in Latin here! Or is it something obvious staring me in the face?

Hi Zinc, It's ARE as you say, plus RES (Latin for Objects, things or matters)
