corrosiveadj.n.

Brit. /kəˈrəʊsɪv/, /kəˈrəʊzɪv/, U.S. /kəˈroʊsɪv/, /kəˈroʊzɪv/
Forms: α. Middle English corosif, ( corosyf, corosyff), Middle English–1500s corosive, ( corosyve), corrosyve, (1500s carosyfe, 1600s corrosif), 1500s– corrosive. β.

Etymology: < French corrosif, Old French corosif, -ive (14th cent. in Littré). The stress being originally on the third syllable, and afterwards on the first, the second was obscure, and its vowel was represented by e , i , a , and at length lost, giving the form corsive adj.1 and n. Since the 17th cent. etymological influence has caused the prevalence of corrosive with stress on the second syllable, as in corrode, corrosion; this is found in Milton 1667.The form corrasive has occasionally been taken as a derivative of Latin rādĕre to scrape, and distinguished fromcorrosive.1633 T. Adams Comm. 2 Peter (ii. 9) 705 They are our corrosives, corrasives, used onely to pare off our excrements.1656 T. Blount Glossographia Corrasive (from corrado), which scrapes together, shaves or spoils: This word is many times mistaken for Corrosive, from Corrodo.
