नया निकला horn कच्चा और हरा-सा होता है, जैसे कच्चा आम या केला हरा होता है। Green यानी कच्चा — इसलिए greenhorn = अनुभवहीन, नौसिखिया।
A new horn on a young animal is soft and green-tinged, just as raw fruit, such as a mango or banana, is green. Green means unripe, so A GREENHORN is a raw, inexperienced person.
