Adjective red found in many Slavic languages. The names of the summer months came from it. Once upon a time in Rus' July called in Old Russian language Cherven, as in Czech Cherven, and in Polish czerwiec that's what they call the month June.
Today it is already difficult to understand the origin and exact words red. The origin of the word is usually associated with cochineal scale insects (a type of aphid), which were the raw material for the production of crimson-red dye, which was used to dye clothes for the nobility and priests. In ancient times, it was in the middle of summer that the gathering of females took place. cochineal insect, which were dried and ground into powder - cochineal dye for getting carmine paint. That's why red was once used to denote the color red, but today is strongly associated and has acquired the meaning of “having color red gold».
The concept of red
The fact is that red in the sense of “painted red” has long been used to characterize such a metal as, namely, beloved in Rus' glory of gold with copper. Gold alloys can have a variety of colors depending on the presence of other metals. Using an adjective red accurately indicates that alloy of gold in which there is a high copper content, which gives gold, which has a natural yellow color, a reddish tint in the alloy. In Russia, since ancient times, preference has traditionally been given to red gold, which has a rich reddish tint . used not only as a material in the manufacture of jewelry, but also as an alloy from which Russian gold coins were minted.
From the word red comes the word chervonets, which today is used for any banknote with a face value of 10 units, and has nothing to do with gold. The beginning of this was laid by the chervonets - 10 rubles in gold- which began to be minted in Russia during the monetary reform of Peter the Great. Actually, earlier people used to call chervonets all sorts of things made of gold, most often foreign gold thalers in circulation, but the issue of the Russian gold ten firmly linked the number 10 in face value with the concept of chervonets.
