Etymology
Verde descends from Latin viridis, meaning green, which in turn came from the verb virere, to be green or to flourish. The word passed down through Vulgar Latin into Romanian with almost no change in form. The same Latin root spread across the Romance family, giving nearly identical words for green in Italian, Spanish, and French.
