Definition rostrum
Etymology
Borrowed from Latin r?strum (“beak, snout”), from r?d(?) (“gnaw”) + -trum, from Proto-Indo-European *reh?d- + *-trom. The pulpit sense is a back-formation from the name of the Roman R?stra, the platforms in the Forum where politicians made speeches. The R?stra were decorated with (and named for) the beaks (prows) of ships from naval victories.
