rissole: [18] Rissoles originally got their name from their colour. The word comes via French rissole and Old French ruissole from Vulgar Latin *russeola, a shortening of *russeola pasta ‘reddish pastry’. Late Latin russeolus ‘reddish’ was a derivative of Latin russus ‘red’ (source of English russet), and is distantly related to English red. => red, russet, rust
