OriginMid 16th century: from Latin, literally 'beak' (from rodere 'gnaw'). The word was originally used (at first in the plural rostra) to denote part of the Forum in Rome, which was decorated with the beaks of captured galleys, and was used as a platform for public speakers. A rostrum is now a raised platform on which a person stands to make a speech, but it was originally part of a ship. It is an English use of a Latin word meaning ‘beak’, which came from rodere ‘to gnaw’. In the days of the Roman Empire the part of the Forum in Rome which was used as a platform for public speakers was decorated with the ‘beaks’ or pointed prows of captured enemy warships.
