Actually,the word come from a popular song that the American soldiers sang during the Mexican-American War. The songs title was, "Green Grows the Liliacs". To older Mexicans, and Mexican-Americans the word IS intended as an insult.

Today, it is a word overused and has lost its original meaning.
The Mexican heard "green goes the lilacs" and the word gringo came into being.
