Question? In cooking, what the the name "Roux" mean

Answers! A correct answer was received from Susan Zwerling.

A roux is a sauce with thickening properties made by heating a fat (oil or butter) and whisking in an equal amount of flour. This can immediately be a base for a white sauce (by adding milk or cream), or it can cook further until peanut or chocolate colored and become a brown base for gumbo and other Creole dishes (by adding veggies and stock)s.
