Where this word comes from
From rum- + oxidieren. Initially popularized by the comedy Werner – Beinhart! in the first sense (see quote), where it refers to an actual metal part at risk of rusting, though this was quickly generalized. In 2015 it gained further notoriety, coming third in the Youth word of the year poll that year, in the second sense.
