Hello Jan,
Actually, ROBUR means OAK TREE in the Latin. Since oak wood is very hard
and durable, it has often been taken as a symbol for power and strength.
Hence the word "roborant", a form of robur which is anything that restores
vigor or strength.
Regards,
Raymond

Dear Christian,
ROBUR means POWER in Latin, if I am not mistaken.
Sincerely
