形容詞

rūfus (feminine rūfa, neuter rūfum); first/second-declension adjective

1. red (in the most general sense, of all shades including orange and yellow)

   Synonyms: ruber, russus

   • 77 CE – 79 CE, Plinius Maior, Naturalis Historia 19.53.169:

     tertium genus [papāveris] rh ān vocant Graecī, id nostrī errāticum; sponte quidem, sed in arvīs cum hordeō maximē nāscitur, ērūcae simile, cubitālī altitūdine, flōre rūfō et prōtinus dēciduō, unde et nōmen ā Graecīs accēpit.

     The third kind [of poppy] the Greeks call rhoea, and we call it "wild" (erraticum); it grows on its own, though on cultivated fields, especially together with barley, similar to rocket, being an elbow in height, with a red flower that is always falling off, from whence it has received that name from the Greeks.

2. (of a person) red-haired

使用する際の注意点

• Contrary to recent intuitions Classical Latin rūfus could and did denote a simple bright red. Its coordinate terms were rubor and rubēre.
• In the hair color sense it is traditionally coordinated with rutilus which denotes blond, golden hair. However, the terms have some overlap.
