bloen
Dutch
Etymology
Blend of blauw (“blue”) + groen (“green”). Blending the words the other way would have resulted in grauw, which would have led to confusion because it already was a name for a colour (namely grey), so this blend was used instead.
Adjective
bloen (comparative bloener, superlative bloenst)
- grue (colour)
