Etymology of ASHBLONDE

The word "ashblonde" is a compound formed by combining the words "ash" and "blonde".

The term "ash" comes from the Old English word "æsce", which ultimately derives from the Proto-Germanic word "askǭ". "Ash" originally referred to the tree species, particularly the European ash (Fraxinus excelsior), known for its pale gray wood.

The word "blonde" has a more complex etymology. It was borrowed into English from the French word "blond", which means "light-colored" or "fair". However, the French word itself comes from the Old French word "blont", which was influenced by the Old French word "blund", meaning "yellow".
