Etymology
From Latin Rubicō, Rubicōn (“the Rubicon”), possibly from rubeus (“red, reddish”), from rubeō (“to be red”). "Crossing the Rubicon" is an idiom meaning to pass a point of no return. It is an allusion to the Roman general and statesman Julius Caesar’s crossing of a river in northeastern Italy, indicating his intention to begin a civil war.
