However, because of the infrequent occurrence of rainfall the overall landscape is not particularly green, despite what the country's name suggests ( verde is Portuguese for "green"). The name of the country stems instead from the nearby Cap Vert , on the Senegalese coast, [5] which in its turn was originally named "Cabo Verde" when it was sighted by Portuguese explorers in 1444, a few years before the islands were discovered.
