英文詞源
- auburn
- auburn: [15] The colour of auburn has changed over the centuries. The word comes originally from Latin albus ‘white’ (whence English album, albino, alb, albedo, and albion), from which was derived in medieval Latin alburnus ‘off-white’. This passed via Old French alborne, auborne into English, still meaning ‘yellowishwhite’. From the 15th to the 17th century it was often spelled abrun or abrown, and it seems likely that its similarity to brown led to its gradual shift in meaning to ‘golden-brown’ or ‘reddish-brown’ over the centuries.
=> albino, album - auburn (n.)
- early 15c., from Old French auborne, from Medieval Latin alburnus "off-white, whitish," from Latin albus "white" (see alb). It came to English meaning "yellowish-white, flaxen," but shifted 16c. to "reddish-brown" under influence of Middle English brun "brown," which also changed the spelling.
