Rock or other material that contains valuable or utilitarian materials; primarily a rock containing metals or gems for which it is typically mined and processed.
Manganism has been known about since the 19th century, when miners exposed to ores containing manganese, a silvery metal, began to totter, slur their speech and behave like someone inebriated.
In the time of Æthelred the Unready when the pound contained 240 pence, the ore was reckoned at 16 pence, but in earlier times there was probably much variation.
Ore roha'ã. ― We(excluding the listener, we and not you) try.
Ñande jaháta okápe ha ore ropytáta ko yvyra pýpe. ― We (all, everyone) will go outside and we(not everyone, just me and some other people)will stay by this tree.
From Old Dutchōra, from Proto-Germanic*ausô. The original feminine gender was lost during the Middle Dutch period, shifting instead to neuter, but is still visible in the modern Dutch fossilized expression ter ore komen.
