ROAN (0. Fr. rouan, rouen; Ital. roano, rovano; perhaps connected with rufus, red)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 394 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROAN (0. Fr. rouan, rouen; Ital. roano, rovano; perhaps connected with rufus, red) , a word applied to a variety of colour in an animal's coat, especially that of a
horse
 , where there is a mixture of grey or
white
 
hair
  with the prevailing tint of bay,
chestnut
  or sorrel. A sorrel when thus modified is either a
strawberry
 -roan or a cream-roan. The
term
  is also used of a soft, flexible kind of
leather
  made of sheepskin, used in bookbinding as a substitute for or in imitation of morocco; but in this sense the origin is doubtful.
