What does RUSSET mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Reddish-brown in colour, like the skin of certain apples or old homespun cloth.
Russet names a warm reddish-brown shade, the colour of autumn oak leaves or the rough skin of a russet apple. The word also survives as a noun for the apple variety itself and for a coarse, undyed woollen cloth that English peasants once wore, its natural brown tone giving the fabric its name. Painters and gardeners still reach for russet to describe a colour that sits between brown and orange rather than a pure red or brown. The apple, the cloth, and the colour all trace back to the same Old French root meaning reddish.
