Source etymology 1
Original entry ↗Yellowish-brown. · Having dark skin as a result of exposure to the sun or an artificial process intended to mimic this effect.
A light, brown-like colour. · A darkening of the skin resulting from exposure to sunlight or similar light sources. · The bark of an oak or other tree from which tannic acid is obtained. · Synonym of wall ball.
From Middle English tan, from Old French tan (“tanbark”), from Gaulish *tannos (“green oak”) – compare Breton tann (“red oak”), Old Cornish tannen –, from Proto-Celtic *tannos (“green oak”), of uncertain origin, but perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *(s)dʰonu (“fir”). Per this hypothesis, related to Hittite [script needed] (tanau, “fir”), Latin femur, genitive feminis (“thigh”), German Tann (“woods”), Tanne (“fir”), Albanian thanë (“cranberry bush”), Ancient Greek θάμνος (thámnos, “thicket”), Avestan 𐬚𐬀𐬥𐬎𐬎𐬀𐬭𐬆 (θanuuar^ə), Sanskrit धनु (dhánu).
