秋天美到讓你詞窮？快學會這10種關于秋色的高大上表達

7.Maroon [m?'ru?n]
栗色

Maroon as the name for a dark red color, derives from French marron, which is the Spanish name for a chestnut. The earliest examples in English of the word refer to the reddish-brown nut, with the color sense dating from the late-18th century.
Maroon指暗紅色，源于法語單詞marron（板栗的西班牙語名稱）。英語中最早用maroon指代紅棕色的板栗，而用其表示顏色可以追溯到18世紀末期。

8. Auburn ['??b?n]
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世紀以前，auburn還不是用來描述秋天顏色的理想詞匯。Auburn最早來源于拉丁語單詞albus，意思是“白色”，原本用來指代黃白色或米白色。

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世紀時，auburn的詞義變為金褐色和紅褐色。這似乎是因為auburn的幾種不同拼寫，比如abrune，abroun和abrown與中世紀英語中的brun相似，而brun代表“棕色”。
