ferrum
Fe on tables
Ferrum is the Latin word for iron, surviving in English mainly as technical vocabulary.
It gives iron its chemical symbol (Fe) and appears in scientific terms: ferrous metals contain iron, ferric compounds have iron in a higher oxidation state.
The blood test showed low ferrum levels.
