A row of little lanterns hanging upside down on a garden bush, curling back, in a pink so bright it almost hums. Everything else the word does can be thought of as coming from that flower: first the plant has the name, then the colour borrows it, then the colour word goes straight in front of a noun.
可以想成一串倒掛的小燈籠，掛在一叢花木上，花瓣往外翻，顏色是那種亮到幾乎會發響的粉紫紅。這個字的其他用法，就像都從這朵花長出來：先是這株植物有了名字，接著那個顏色借用它的名字，最後這個顏色名又直接搬到名詞前面去形容東西。
From the word’s history
The plant was named after Leonhart Fuchs, a German botanist of the sixteenth century, through the New Latin genus name Fuchsia. That is why the spelling has the odd chs in it.
這株植物是以十六世紀德國植物學家 Leonhart Fuchs（1501–1566）命名的，經由拉丁屬名 Fuchsia 進入英文。所以那個很難拼的 chs 其實是一個人的姓留下來的痕跡——記 Fuchs + ia，就不會寫成 fuschia。
