From the latin viridis or vireo this word is of archaic lineage embodying life and the peaceful light brought on by fertile growth. It is life force; beyond badass; past awesome; extreme without over-abundunce or gluttonous excess.
As is apparent in observing the many words throughout
history using this root the exact
definition is difficult to quantify. The old english vert:
right to fell timber or French verte for green or Norwegian verten for great feudal lord all touch on the
heart of what vert really is: a state of being.
More like an aspect to aspire to than a state actually possible to attain, vert has been compared to living without sin in Christianity or Buddhist enlightenment.
It has common connotation with Alan Moore'
s "The Green" life force connecting all vegitation in the DC universe. It is also often associated with Marijuana and Green
Tea.
