green
Grass and leaves
The color adjective green designates things that are the usual color of living leaves and grass.
Its many figurative meanings differ greatly across languages, but in English, green can stand for inexperience, envy, jealousy, youth, vigor, and nausea.
In politics, green indicates an agenda of environmental issues, and in fact many countries have a Green Party that puts the environment first.
Green occurs frequently in food names (green onion, green salad, green bean, green pepper) and characterizes places dominated by plant life, such as a green belt.
In golf, a green is the area immediately around the pin and cup.
