Etimologia (Inglês)

Herdado de alto alemão médio: grisgramen

Herdado de alemão arcaico alto: grisgramōn

In summary

From Middle High German grisgramen (“to grind one’s teeth”), from Old High German grisgramōn (“to grind one’s teeth”). Later reanalyzed as a compound gries (“grey”) + Gram (“grief”), which influenced the semantic development, though the first element is instead related to Grieß (“semolina, grit”).
