The word "rubbles" is derived from the Middle English word "rubbel", which meant waste or rubbish. It can be traced back to the Old French word "robel", meaning rubbish or debris. The term ultimately originated from the Latin word "ruber", which translates to red. In this context, "ruber" referred to the color of a brick or stone fragment, highlighting the association between waste materials like rubble and the color red. Over time, "rubbles" emerged as the plural form of "rubble" to refer to various broken fragments or debris.
