語源
From Old French sinople, from Latin Sinōpis, from Ancient Greek Σινωπίς (Sinōpís, “of Sinope”), a town that exported a red ocher. The unexpected change to meaning "green" in heraldry occurred in French texts around 1350 for unclear reasons.

[C]onsider the term sinople that designates the color green in the language of French heraldry from the second half of the fourteenth century on. [...] Until that time to name the color green heraldry simply used the word "green." But about the years 1350-1380 its lexicon changed. In documents composed in French (armorial documents, heraldry manuals, accounts of tournaments), the term vert gradually disappeared, to be replaced by the word sinople. The reasons for this change, which took place over less than two generations, remain mysterious. Perhaps we can understand how heralds, the first specialists in the language of heraldry—which they often sought to enrich or to complicate to make themselves indispensable—may have wanted to align the color green with the other colors and thus designate it as well with a special term, different from ordinary language. Perhaps too we can recognize that there was a possible confusion between vert (the color green) and vair (the gray fur); to change one of those terms would avoid that confusion. So far so good. But why seek out the word sinople, a color term long used in literary language but that designates red, not green? The word's etymology leaves no doubt on this subject: the French sinople comes from the Latin sinopis or sinopensis, adjectives constructed from the name of a town in Asia Minor located on the shores of the Black Sea, Sinopa (Sinop today, in Turkey). In antiquity there were clay pits surrounding it that provided a red ocher [...] Why did the word sinople take on the meaning of "green" in the language of heraldry about 1350? Was some ignorant, priggish herald responsible for this change in meaning, immediately adopted by all his colleagues? Or must we look beyond heraldry for the reasons for this astonishing semantic mutation? Given the current state of our knowledge, we cannot answer that question.

Sinople is a word that comes from the Black Sea city of Sinop (historically Sinope) in modern-day Turkey, where the clay had a red-ochre color. It can refer to several things:
- In heraldry, sinople, also called vert, is a green or dark green color. In engravings, sinople is represented by diagonal lines from the field or figure's top right to bottom left (that is, from the observer's left to right). In French heraldry, sinople meant red until the mid-14th century, when it replaced vert to mean green [1] [2]. Today, in English-language heraldry, vert is usually used to mean green.
- In mineralogy, sinople (or sinopite) is a clay or quartz containing iron oxides, with a "blood-red or brownish red color, sometimes with a tinge of yellow" (Webster's Dictionary). It was used by medieval muralists to make the red pigment sinopia.
- In cryptography, sinople is a 128-bit symmetric block cipher [3].
