"The word entered the English language via William Caxton's 1485 translation of a Dutch version of the legend of Reynard the Fox. Bruin is the bear, named for his color; the Middle Dutch word for brown is bruun, while the current Dutch word for brown is actually bruin." Ewlyahoocom 05:45, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
