'''Rhosgobel''' was the "old home" of [[Radagast]].<ref>{{FR|II3}}</ref> The house is said to have been located between the [[Carrock]] and the [[Old Forest Road]], on the western borders of [[Mirkwood]].<ref>{{UT|Istari}}, Note 4</ref><br />
==Etymology==<br />
<br />
''Rhosgobel'', glossed as "russet village or 'town' (enclosure)",<ref>{{HM|RC}}, p. 241 (quoting from the manuscript "[[Index questions]]")</ref> is likely a compound of ''[[rhosc]]'' ("brown") and ''[[gobel]]'' ("walled house or village, town").<ref>{{LR|Etymologies}} pp. 380, 385</ref> The name of the house was perhaps a reference to its resident, the Brown Wizard.<br />
<br />
==Other versions of the legendarium==<br />
<br />
In ''[[The Hobbit]]'', Gandalf says that Radagast "lives near the southern borders of Mirkwood".<ref>{{H|7}}</ref><br />
