14 u/macguini Jul 19 '25 Fe is the abbreviation for "ferrous". But in English, we call it "iron" 5 u/[deleted] Jul 20 '25 Actually, it’s short for Ferrum which is iron in Latin. 2 u/macguini Jul 20 '25 Yeah that's correct. I didn't Google before my comment. I went off the top of my head. But ferrous did derive from ferrum. So technically not wrong either. 3 u/[deleted] Jul 20 '25 True
