    Verdant is derived from the word verdure which means 'greenery', which i assume is implying the green colour of emerald from which the bow is made of.

    As an aside, did u notice that the 'verdant bow' (or emerald bow) appears ironically only once in the series? It bears far more significance, of course, in the novel.

    I once thought that TVB hired anybody who could speak English to give them any English title for their series.
