What is the chemical symbol for lead?
Correct answer: Pb
Taramaiden
PB is a contraction of the Latin word Plumbum, which is what Lead was called. In modern Italian, it's Piombo.

Today we are using carcinogenic make up additives, fake tanning, bleaching skin, nipping & tucking ... so not much has changed lol except of course the use of powdered lead.

Hhh46za, The Pb symbol comes from the Latin word Plumbum, leading to the weight on a string used to identify a vertical called a Plumb line
