vert

Green in heraldry

Vert is heraldic terminology for green.

In coats of arms and blazonry, vert describes any green field or charge: a lion rampant on a field vert.

Outside heraldry, vert appears in extreme sports slang for vertical surfaces—halfpipe walls, ramps, or any terrain that goes straight up: He got massive air off the vert.
