    It’s because the ver looks like vert which is the french word for green

    Vermont is derived from Green Mountain

    So vermilion looks like it could mean a green million, which sounds like a funny way to say a million dollars.

      Verde is also green in Spanish. A quick translation tells me that in Latin it’s Viridis which makes it make sense that it’s similar in most Latin based languages.

          It’s actually the name of a bluish green pigment not just a fancy work for green.

        Vermillion also comes from Latin, Vermiculus. Mainly used in Portuguese as vermelho for red.
