Roux entered English around 1805–15.
Roux was borrowed from French, and comes from the phrase (beurre) roux, which means \"brown (butter).\"
Roux came from the Latin word russus, \"red-brown, red-haired,\" which is similar to ruber, \"red.\"

\r\nEXAMPLES OF ROUX\r\n

The chef prepared a velvety smooth sauce by slowly whisking a roux made with equal parts butter and flour into the simmering broth.
The secret to the perfect gravy lies in achieving just the right color and consistency of the roux.
