The answer to the riddle is: roest (rust)

Here's how we can break it down:

  • Redder: This refers to the color associated with rust.
  • Verlosser: This Dutch word means "redeemer" or "savior." It's a clue that the answer might have a hidden meaning.
  • Leenwoord uit het Grieks: This translates to "loanword from Greek," indicating the origin of the next word.
  • Anagram roest: This means "anagram of rust."

Looking at "verlosser," we can rearrange the letters to form "roest," which is the Dutch word for rust. This fulfills the condition of being a loanword from Greek (since "anagram" is derived from Greek) and an anagram of "roest."

Therefore, the five-letter word that fits the riddle is "roest" (rust).
