Rudens

Etymology

From the same stem as the adjective ruds (reddish brown) (q.v.), apparently because of the color of leaves in autumn. An older term for “autumn”, cognate with Old Prussian assanis and Russian о́сень (ósenʹ), has been lost, possibly in part due to homonymy with asinis (blood). Cognates include Lithuanian ruduõ.[1]
