History
Etymology
* Probably from green + wood, an area covered with trees. * The village in Nova Scotia was named for the heavily forested location of the settlement.
From Middle English grene wode (“a forest that is leafed out, a greenwood" also "unseasoned firewood”), equivalent to green + wood.
