French

Etymology

Inherited from Middle French and Old French vert, from Vulgar Latin virdis, syncopated from Classical Latin viridis. Compare Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish verde. The Old French -t is due to regular final devoicing. The feminine was originally also vert and was extended with -e only during Middle French times, thus keeping the devoiced sound.
