red-haired
UK: ˌredˈheəd | US: ˌredˈherd
adj. having hair that is red in color
The word "red-haired" is a straightforward compound adjective formed by combining "red" (from Old English rēad, meaning the color) and "hair" (from Old English hǣr, referring to strands on the head), with the suffix "-ed" added to form an adjective. This construction follows a common English pattern for describing physical traits (e.g., "blue-eyed," "long-legged"). The term has been used since at least the 16th century to describe individuals with naturally red or auburn hair.
