What does AERUGO mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
The green film, or patina, that forms on copper and bronze as they weather.
Aerugo builds up slowly as copper reacts with air and moisture, producing the familiar green coating seen on old statues and coins. Restorers study the aerugo on an artifact to judge how long it has been exposed and whether the layer should be cleaned or left in place. The same green coating is more commonly called verdigris in everyday writing.
