                                "mid 16th century: from the verb rub+ -er. The original sense was \u2018an implement (such as a hard brush) used for rubbing and cleaning\u2019. Because an early use of the elastic substance (previously known as caoutchouc) was to rub out pencil marks, rubber gained the sense \u2018eraser\u2019 in the late 18th century. The sense was subsequently (mid 19th century) generalized to refer to the substance in any form or use, at first often differentiated as India rubber"
