vermilion mirah delima Explanation: Kalau konteksnya batu... Kalau konteksnya warna = merah jambu Vermilion, from Old French vermeillon, derives from Latin vermiculus, meaning 'little worm'. This is a reference to a tiny grub-like Mediterranean insect now called the kermes: when crushed, the kermes yields a bright red dye. Kermes itself is originally an Arabic word, from which the colour terms carmine and crimson are derived. |
