Welcome, to IronHell.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

According to etymonline, erase is from Latin eradere, meaning to scrape off (from ex + radere). It refered to knives used to scrape ink off - the first erasers.
Rubber earned its name because it could erase pencil. It comes from Germanic roots meaning "to scratch" or "to rub."
My little brother called erasers "unrasers" when he was little, thus making the process of putting words to paper or drawing something called "rasing."
Language is fucking awesome.
