Dear Reader,
Do you know what the word „vermillion” means? It is a word I a first heard about nine years ago, in a song „Vermillion Pt.2.0”, by Slipknot, but I was never interested in finding out what it means. Until this morning, when I asked The Big Red Head Fox ( Ana) to tell me the definition.
Vermillion is an alternative writing for the word vermilion.
vermilion= a brilliant red pigment made from cinnabar (mercury sulphide)(Oxford Dictionary)
origin. It comes from the Old French word „vermellion”, which was derived from „vermeil”from the Latin word „vermilculus”,the diminutive form of the word „vermis” (worm).The name originated from this word because the color is similar to the natural dye made by an insect, Kermes vermilio.
