Reply:"WORD HISTORY A plumber works with water pipes, once made from lead, with lead solder for the joints. The Romans used lead pipes, and the word plumber comes from the Latin word for lead, plumbum. There is no Latin, or even Indo-European, etymology for plumbum but it bears a distant similarity to the Greek word for lead, the standard form of which, molubdos, gives us the name of another element in the Periodic Table, molybdenum. Two non-standard forms, molibos and especially bolimos, are even more similar to the Latin."
Reply:Plus, there's considerable conjecture that the Romans' use of plumbum for plumbing led to lead poisioning, accounting for the stupidity of their upper class rulers and the decline of their empire.
Reply:Plumbum. I guess because Romans used lead in their plumbing projects that the word has two meanings.
