Word of the Day -- Cinnabar

Doesn't this word remind you of a certain sticky bun food chain?

Cinnabar -- artificial red mercuric sulfide used especially as a pigment; a deep vivid red.

Middle English cynabare, from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French sinopre, from Latin cinnabaris, from Greek kinnabari, of non-Indo-European origin; akin to Arabic zinjafr cinnabar
