Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: green adj., room n.¹

Etymology: < green adj. + room n.¹ The reason for the name in sense 1 is uncertain; perhaps because such rooms were originally painted green (compare quot. 1679 at sense 1), although many other explanations have been attempted (none with any substantial corroborating evidence). With sense 2 compare green adj. 6.

1. A room in a theatre or studio in which performers can relax when they are off stage. Also in extended use: the people who use such a room. to talk green room: to share theatrical gossip (obsolete rare).
