Spelled correctly, as you point out, dictionary.com reveals this:
[Middle English vertegrez, from Old French verte grez, alteration of vert-de-
Grice: verd, green; see verdure + de, of (from Latin d); see de- + Grice,
Greece.]
"Verde" in Spanish, of course, is "green," and "gris" is grey, by the way.
