Origin Middle English: from an Anglo-Norman French variant of Old French rousset, diminutive of rous 'red', from Provençal ros, from Latin russus 'red'. Russet comes via Anglo-Norman French from Latin russus ‘red’. It was originally a name for a coarse homespun woollen cloth that was reddish-brown, grey, or neutral in colour, used formerly for making clothing for land workers. When is came to be used for a colour in the 15th century it was usually applied to cloth. The type of apple, named from its colour appears in the early 18th century. Rust (Old English) is more closely related to the Old English word for ‘red’ although they both go back to the same Indo-European root.
