rohunn.

Brit.

/ˈrəʊhʌn/, U.S.

/ˈroʊˌhən/

Forms: 1800s– rohan, 1800s– rohun.

Origin: A borrowing from Sanskrit. Etymons: Sanskrit rohaṇa, rohaṇ, rohiṇa.

Etymology: < Sanskrit rohaṇa (also with vernacular pronunciation rohaṇ), apparently only attested in this form in sense ‘cedar’, vernacular variant of rohiṇa red, reddish, used to denote various trees (compare redwood n.¹ 2), ultimately < the same Indo-European base as red adj. Compare slightly later rohuna n.

Now historical and rare.

More fully rohun bark: the dried bark of the rohuna tree, used medicinally as a febrifuge and general tonic, esp. as a substitute for cinchona. Also (more fully rohun tree): the rohuna tree, which yields this bark.
