Chartreuse
This word seems to have fallen out of my world for more than a decade. I had almost forgotten it. Then, yesterday, Michelle Obama's outfit revived this word in my mind. From Webster's New World:
Chartreuse (after La Grande Chartreuse, Carthusian monastery in France) trademark for a yellow, pale-green, or white liqueur made by the Carthusian monks
n.
1 [occas. c-] this liqueur
2 [c-] pale, yellowish green
adj.
[c-] of the color chartreuse
