editEtymology
editUnknown. Compare Latin roseus. Probably from the verb rușina, itself from roși (“turn red, blush”), from roșu. Other explanations derive it from a Vulgar Latin root *rōsīnus (“rosy”), *russiō or *rōsiō. May possibly be also from a Romanian *rușiciune, from roși. Compare Aromanian arushini, arusheni, rusheni, Megleno-Romanian rușǫni.
