roussi

Finnish

Etymology

Possibly from English rosy (soldierfish) (Hoplostethus mediterraneus, the full name of which in Finnish is välimerenroussi); the English term is rare in general use, but appears in official and legal documents, which is where it may have been picked up from and adapted as a neologism.
