Etymologically, the entry records: Blend of verde (“green”) + Bloody Mary From being a green cocktail like a bloody mary, and tomatillos being Latin American thus Spanish verde ("green" in Spanish) Root origin matters for spelling because borrowed morphemes (Greek, Latin, Old French, Old English) carry their source-language orthographic conventions into modern English, which is why historical etymology is often the cleanest predictor of whether a cluster like "-ough", "-eau", or "-tion" will appear. For readers arriving here from a spelling check, the authoritative guidance is: the correct English form is Verde Mary, spelled V-E-R-D-E- -M-A-R-Y, and any other sequence of those letters, regardless of how natural it feels, is a misspelling in standard orthography.
