/fᵻˈruːdʒn̩əs/, U.S.

/fəˈrudʒənəs/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin ferruginosus.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin ferruginosus rusty (1515 or earlier), resembling iron rust in colour (1564 or earlier), containing iron rust (1591 or earlier) < classical Latin ferrūgin- , ferrūgō iron rust, rust-like substance, also denoting shades of colour, apparently ranging from a reddish purple to near black ( < ferrum iron (see ferro- comb. form) + -gō , suffix forming nouns) + -ōsus -ous suffix. Compare earlier ferrugineous adj.In sense 2b after French ferrugineux (1766 in the passage translated in quot. 1778, or earlier, in this sense; 1589 in Middle French in sense ‘containing iron rust’, 1754 in sense ‘resembling iron rust in colour’); compare Anglo-Norman ferrugin (of colour) resembling iron rust, reddish brown (12th or 13th cent.)), reflecting semantic association directly with classical Latin ferrum rather than with ferrūgō (compare e.g. oleaginous adj.).

a. Resembling iron rust in colour; reddish brown.
