Definitions

  1. Of clothing, textiles, etc.: neither bleached nor dyed, nor otherwise fully processed; unfinished.

Word origin

The adjective is borrowed from French grège and Middle French grège (“of silk: raw, unfinished; of the colour of such silk, greyish-beige”, adjective), from Italian greggio (“raw, unrefined; unbleached”); further etymology uncertain, possibly from Vulgar Latin *gregius (as in lana *gregia (“untreated wool as obtained from the flock”)), from grex (“flock (of sheep, etc.)”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ger- (“flock, herd; to gather”).

Used in a sentence

  • The rolls of greige cloth sat on the factory floor waiting to be printed.
  • “There he was … juiceless, on a greige banquette, staring up at my perfect terrace.[…]”
  • Brilliant, sparkling reds will complement the bright, new beauty of Fall fashions and accent the subtle reserve of pale Priority beiges and greiges.
