Definition
A green bile pigment formed by the breakdown of hemoglobin in red blood cells, which is later converted to bilirubin in the body.
Etymology
From 'bili-' (relating to bile) + Latin 'viridis' (green) + '-in' (chemical suffix). This biochemical term was coined to describe a specific intermediate product in hemoglobin metabolism.
Kelly Says
The green color of old bruises is literally biliverdin—it's nature's way of breaking down damaged blood cells, and your body converts it into other pigments as it heals!
