Etymology

Infused
adjective

Latin infundere, to pour into — past-participle of infuse. As a color modifier, infused implies a deep-pigment-and-warmth where the hue has been filled from within with the source dye. Sits at the deep-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to suffused and steeped in usage.

Fioletovyy
noun

Russian фиолетовый, violet — derived from Latin viola via Polish fioletowy. The Russian Orthodox liturgical color for Lent, used on the epitrachelion (priestly stole) during Velikiy Post. Fioletovyy color refers to a Russian Orthodox Lenten epitrachelion stole: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-violet with the matte finish of dyed liturgical silk-and-wool. Russian color terminology distinguishes sinii (deep blue) from fioletovyy (violet).
