The name may derive from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_fox" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_fox" rel="nofollow">fox</a>-like reddish-brown color of the stains,<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxing#cite_note-1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxing#cite_note-1" rel="nofollow">[1]</a> or the rust chemical <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferric_oxide" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferric_oxide" rel="nofollow">ferric oxide</a> which may be involved.
