About Wrought Iron
Common usage is for wrought iron to mean iron of this composition. However, strictly, it should be confined to iron that has been wrought (i.e. worked) into a finished product.
Ornamental ironwork is often referred to as 'wrought iron'.
Word Origin: The word 'wrought' is the old past tense of the verb to work. As irregular past-tense forms in English have historically been phased out over long periods of time, wrought became worked. Wrought iron literally means Worked iron.
