An emerald is a bright green precious gemstone, valuable and often used in rings and necklaces. The word is also used just to describe the color itself - a rich, deep green - even when nothing is a real gemstone, like 'emerald green hills' or 'her emerald dress'.
祖母綠(寶石);翠綠色
組成It probably traces back, through French and Latin, to an old word for a green gemstone, though I can't promise the exact chain of languages.
