Answer

BLOND

The word BLOND describes a fair or golden hair color, typically ranging from pale yellow to light brown. It comes from Old French and ultimately from Medieval Latin 'blundus' meaning yellow. Interestingly, English traditionally uses 'blond' for males and 'blonde' for females, though modern usage often treats them interchangeably.

Strategy Tip
