Translation:
Igros is Greek for Latin viridis {"green"} limpidus {"clear"}, purus {"pure"}, preclarus {"very bright"}, liquidus {"fluid"}, madidus {"wet"}, rosidus {"dewy"}, humectus {"damp"}, humidus {"moist"}. It is better spelt with the letter "y" {i.e. Ygros}.
Commentary:
The Greek adjective ὑγρός /hygrós/ means "wet, moist, fluid, liquid; soft, pliant, supple".
rosidus is a false writing for roscidus "full of dew, wet with dew" (Lewis & Short)
Simon offers an almost identical text under Ygros viridis q.v.
