Morphology

greenstuff = green + stuff (semi-transparent) = green + stuff

The meaning can be guessed from 'green' + 'stuff' (e.g., leafy greens or cash), but the senses are informal and idiomatic, so full interpretation depends on context.

Etymology

Greenstuff simply joins green and stuff: 'green' can mean the colour of cash or of fresh leaves, and 'stuff' means 'things', so people use it as a casual word for money or for leafy vegetables. That's why greenstuff is used informally to mean cash or salad greens.
