The Latin name for lead is plumbum, waterworks, after the metal's extensive use in ancient water pipes.
The element's English name, lead, is Anglo-Saxon; the symbol Pb derives from the Latin.
The Romans also use lead for tablets, solder, coins, and even cooking utensils, which result in the recognition of lead poisoning in the time of Augustus Caesar.
