marrón
/maˈron/ · B1 · adj
brown
🌰 From French marron = chestnut, so chestnut-coloured means brown
Spanish took marrón from French marron, a large chestnut, and the nut's shell gave the colour its name. In Spain, ¡qué marrón! also means what a drag: a messy, annoying job that someone gets stuck with.
