What does VIRID mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literarypoeticrare
Bright or vivid green in color.
Virid describes a fresh shade close to new spring leaves, brighter and more emphatic than the duller green of aging foliage. Writers reach for virid mainly for its poetic and slightly archaic sound, choosing it over the plain word green when a passage calls for a more striking, literary way of naming that hue. The term shares its Latin root with verdant and virescent, both tracing back to a word for greenness and, by extension, vigor or freshness. Because virid rarely appears in ordinary speech, encountering it usually signals a deliberately elevated or descriptive style.
