1802 J. Playfair Illustr.

1938 Science 15 Apr. 347/2 Soil deterioration or wastage through chemical action may be expressed by the word corrosion, in contrast with soil wastage by physical forces, or erosion. Corrosion is already in use by geologists to some extent to express virtually the same idea as that suggested.
