Ferric comes from Latin ferrum and is the older chemical partner of ferrous. Ferric compounds, such as ferric oxide, are what we know as rust and as the red pigment in many soils and paints. The matching Roman numeral in modern names, as in iron(III) chloride, says the same thing as the ending. In ordinary speech the word crops up mostly in names of salts and of dietary supplements.
