Where it comes from
From Latin smaragdinus, from Ancient Greek σμάραγδινος (smáragdinos), from σμάραγδος (smáragdos). See emerald for more.
noun
- Emerald. The smaragdine and beryl, (as they are called), which are found in the copper-mines, are said to have their colour from their mixture with sulphur: and that the chrysolite, produced by the heat of thesun, receives its tincture from a hot and fiery exhalation.
adjective
- Of or pertaining to emeralds.
- Having the colour of emeralds. Not even inspired vision ever saw sweeter fields arrayed in living green than these spangled meads which stretch out for miles on either side, and probably lead to "rivers of delight" just beyond those massive banks of beech and oaken and maple foliage, which frame the view in smaragdine opulence.
