| The Blonde Women from Met Art, make blonde yokes all you like.............really? |
Wikipedia says:"
The word blond was first attested in English in 1481 and derives from Old French blont and meant a "colour midway between golden and light chestnut".
It largely replaced the native term "fair", from Old English "fæger". The French (and thus also the English) word blond has two possible origins, namely:
Medieval Latin and Old Frankish and also has two spellings: "blond" and "blonde" Though many writers of English use the spellings interchangeably, some of them continue to distinguish between the masculine blond and the feminine blonde and, as such, it is one of the few adjectives in English with separate masculine and feminine forms, at least in written language. The word is also occasionally used, with either spelling, to refer to objects that have a color reminiscent of fair hair. Examples include pale wood and lager beer."
