russet 赤褐色的

來自拉丁語 russus,赤褐色的，紅褐色的，來自 ruber,紅色的，來自 PIE*reudh,紅色的，詞源同 red,ruby,rissole.

russet: russet: [13] Latin russus ‘red’ went back ultimately to the prehistoric Indo-European *reudh- ‘red’, which also produced English red. From it was descended Old French rous, whose modern form roux has given English roux ‘flour and butter mixture’ [19] (it is short for beurre roux ‘browned butter’). This formed the basis of a diminutive form rousset, which passed into English via Anglo-Norman russet. The application of the word to a red-skinned variety of apple dates from the 18th century.
