Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen anglais: greet

Hérité de ancien anglais: grēat

Appartenant à écossais: great

Appartenant à frison occidental: grut

Appartenant à néerlandais: groot

Appartenant à allemand: groß

Appartenant à ancien anglais: grēot

In summary

From Middle English greet (“great, large”), from Old English grēat (“big, thick, coarse, massive”), from Proto-West Germanic *graut, from Proto-Germanic *grautaz (“big in size, coarse, coarse grained”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrewd-, *gʰer- (“to rub, grind, remove”).
Cognate with Scots graat, great, greet, greit (“coarse in grain or texture, thick, great”), North Frisian grat, grut, gurt (“big, great, large”), Saterland Frisian groot (“big, large”), West Frisian grut (“large, great”), Dutch groot (“large, stour”), German gross, groß (“large”), Luxembourgish grouss (“big, great, large”), Old English grēot (“earth, sand, grit”). Related to grit. Doublet of gross.
The modern pronunciation shows an irregular change of Early Modern English /ɛː/ to /eɪ/ in the standard language; contrast this with the development of other words such as beat and heat.
