Etimologia (Anglès)

From an Old Latin verb *graceō or *craceō (“to be meager, slim”), from Proto-Indo-European *kerḱ- (“to become thin, to wane”), related to Sanskrit कृश (kṛśa, “thin, lean”), Lithuanian karštu (“to age”), and Avestan 𐬐𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬯𐬀 (kər^əsa, “meager, lean”).
Also compare cracens (“slender”) and Proto-Germanic *hurhaz (“lean”) whence Icelandic hor (“emaciation”).
