From the latin viridis or vireo this word is of archaic lineage embodying life and the peaceful light brought on by fertile growth. It is
life force; beyond badass; past awesome; extreme without over-abundunce or gluttonous excess.
As is apparent in observing the many words throughout history using this root the exact definition is difficult to quantify. The old english
vert: right to fell timber or French
verte for green or Norwegian verten for great feudal lord all touch on the heart of what vert really is: a state of being.
More like an aspect to aspire to than a state actually possible to attain, vert has been compared to living without sin in Christianity or Buddhist enlightenment.
It has common connotation with
Alan Moore's "The Green" life force connecting all
vegitation in the DC universe. It is also often associated with Marijuana and Green Tea.
"Hey man, how are you?"
"Well I just smoked a fatty and got
down and dirty with 3 Swedish
swimsuit models so I'm positively vertin' my friend!"
"Dude that's some heavy
vert!"
