Hold a glass of dark red Bordeaux wine up to a lamp. Everything this word does comes out of that glass.

可以想成把一杯深紅的波爾多紅酒舉到燈下。這個字做的每件事都從那只杯子出來。先是那種酒本身；接著顏色從酒身上剝下來，自己跑到領帶、大門、球衣上；最後在英國口語裡，它又落到另一樣剛好是那個紅色的東西上。From the word’s history
From Medieval Latin claratum vinum, clarified wine, from clarus, clear or bright. The name first pointed at how clear and light the wine was, not at how dark it looked.
來自中世紀拉丁文 clārātum vīnum（澄清過的酒），源頭是 clārus（清澈、明亮）。這個名字一開始講的是酒有多清、多淺，而不是今天那種深紅。意思在歷史上翻了個面。

從酒身上剝下來的顏色
顏色離開了酒，開始自己跑，於是同一個字可以指布料、油漆，甚至血。
