An archaic or Middle English spelling of 'green'; the color of grass and leaves.
From Old English 'grēne', from Proto-Germanic roots, representing an earlier stage of English orthography before standardization.
Medieval spelling had no standards—the same scribe might write 'grene,' 'grene,' or 'grean' in one document, which is why tracking language change through old texts is like archaeological detective work.
