Indigo
[ˈɪndɪgoʊ]Meaning
From the English word indigo, the purplish-blue dye or colour, ultimately from Greek Indikon, "from India".
Background Story
Indigo comes from the English word for the purplish-blue dye or the colour, ultimately derived from the Greek Indikon, meaning "Indic, from India". The Latin indicum, meaning "Indian", was the source, as the naturally based dye was originally exported to Europe from India. In Early Modern English the word referred to the dye, not the hue itself, and the first known recorded use of indigo as a colour name in English was in 1289.
