Etymology: * Latin: rostrum, "beak," "prow," "platform"
Meaning: * A projecting or raised platform for a speaker or performer * A pointed or beak-like projection on a ship, aircraft, or animal
Origin: The Latin word "rostrum" originally referred to the beak of a bird, but it was later extended to other pointed or beak-like projections. In ancient Rome, the term "rostrum" was used to refer to the raised platform in the Roman Forum where speeches were delivered. Over time, the meaning of "rostrum" has evolved to encompass any platform or stage used by a speaker or performer.
Examples: * The president gave a speech from the rostrum at the United Nations. * The ship's rostrum cut through the waves with ease. * The hawk's rostrum was sharp and powerful.
