Etymology of MOST SUBFUSCOUS

The word "subfuscous" is derived from the Latin term "subfuscus", which is a combination of the prefix "sub-" (meaning "under" or "below") and the adjective "fuscus" (meaning "dark" or "dusky"). This Latin term was used primarily in the context of clothing, referring to colors that were dark or somber, typically shades of brown or gray.
