   Purple \Pur"ple\, n.; pl. {Purples}. [OE. purpre, pourpre, OF.
      purpre, porpre, pourpre, F. pourpre, L. purpura purple fish,
      purple dye, fr. Gr. [?] the purple fish, a shell from the
      purple dye was obtained, purple dye; cf. [?] dark (said of

                     Arraying with reflected purple and gold The clouds

      Note: The ancient words which are translated purple are
               supposed to have been used for the color we call
               crimson. In the gradations of color as defined in art,
               purple is a mixture of red and blue. When red
               predominates it is called violet, and when blue
               predominates, hyacinth.
  
      2. Cloth dyed a purple color, or a garment of such color;
            especially, a purple robe, worn as an emblem of rank or
            authority; specifically, the purple rode or mantle worn by
            Roman emperors as the emblem of imperial dignity; as, to
            put on the imperial purple.
  
                     Thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of
                     fine twined linen, and purple, and scarlet. --Ex.
                                                                              xxvi. 1.
  
      3. Hence: Imperial sovereignty; royal rank, dignity, or
            favor; loosely and colloquially, any exalted station;
            great wealth. [bd]He was born in the purple.[b8] --Gibbon.
  
      4. A cardinalate. See {Cardinal}.
  
      5. (Zo[94]l.) Any species of large butterflies, usually
            marked with purple or blue, of the genus {Basilarchia}

      Note: Purple is sometimes used in composition, esp. with
               participles forming words of obvious signification; as,
               purple-colored, purple-hued, purple-stained,
               purple-tinged, purple-tinted, and the like.
