What 鏽 means
It means rust, rust stains, or to rust.
An old Chinese dictionary, 《集韻》, glosses it as “clothing on iron”—a neat image of rust coating metal.
It can name tea or water deposits. In the ancient Chinese text 《墨子》, it stands for 肅, “respectful,” a separate old use.
A plain Chinese word for corrosion; the “respectful” sense is rare and old.
