biondo

== Istriot == === Etymology === Inherited from Medieval Latin blondus, further origin uncertain, several theories have been proposed: of Germanic origin: probably from Frankish *blund (“a mixed color between golden and light-brown”), from Proto-Germanic *blundaz (“mixed, blinding”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰlendʰ-. No such word is attested in Germanic languages however, all having been borrowed from Old French. If Germanic origin is incorrect, perhaps of Lepontic origin.
