3. Russet [ˈrʌsɪt]
红棕色
Being a reddish brown, russet is a popular fall color. Its name is a borrowing of an Anglo-French adjective, meaning "reddish" or "reddish-brown," that came to designate a coarse, homespun cloth used to make garments. English borrowed the French term for the cloth in the 13th century before using it in its color sense.
Russet指红棕色,是一种常见的秋天代表色。这个单词是诺曼时代英国所用法语中的一个形容词,原意为“略带红色的”或“略带红棕色的”,指代一种粗糙的土布衣料。13世纪时,人们将这个法语单词引入英语中,之后取其色彩含义使用。
Association of the word with rural living led to its use as an adjective meaning "rustic," "homely," and "simple."
因为russet和乡村生活有关,因此也可以做形容词表示“朴素的”、“家常的”、“简单的”意思。
