"of an adust complexion"- Sir Walter Scott
Middle English "treated with intense heat (of medical ingredients), altered by body heat (of humors)," borrowed from Medieval Latin adustus, going back to Latin, "burnt, scorched," from past participle of adūrere" to scorch, burn up, cauterize," from ad- ad- + ūrere (past participle ustus) "to expose to fire, burn, scorch," going back to Indo-European *h1eu̯s- "burn (transitive), singe," whence Greek heúō, heúein "to scorch" (with presumed metathesis of h), Sanskrit óṣati "(s/he) burns," uṣṭáḥ "burnt up"
