Cement:
A cement is a binder, a substance that sets and
hardens as the cement dries and also reacts with carbon dioxide in the air
dependently, and can bind other materials together. The word "cement"
traces to the Romans, who used the term opus caementicium to describe masonry
resembling modern concrete that was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as
binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives that were added to the
burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum,
cimentum, cäment, and cement.
