8、Auburn ['ɔːbən]
赤褐色
Prior to the 16th century, auburn would not have been an ideal word to describe an autumn color. It derives ultimately from the Latin word albus, meaning "white," and originally designated a yellowish or brownish white color.
16世纪以前，auburn还不是用来描述秋天颜色的理想词汇。Auburn最早来源于拉丁语单词albus，意思是“白色”，原本用来指代黄白色或米白色。
However, by the 16th century, the word's meaning shifted to goldish and reddish shades of brown. It seems variant spellings of the word, such as abrune, abroun, and abrown, that resembled Middle English brun, meaning "brown," brought on the color change.
然而，到16世纪时，auburn的词义变为金褐色和红褐色。这似乎是因为auburn的几种不同拼写，比如abrune，abroun和abrown与中世纪英语中的brun相似，而brun代表“棕色”。
