In summary

From Middle High German grint, from Old High German grint, from Proto-West Germanic *grind, from Proto-Germanic *grindą (“grounds, ground material”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrendʰ- (“to crush”).
Cognate with West Frisian grint (“gravel”), Dutch grind (“gravel; shingle”), obsolete Dutch grinden (“to grind, rub, crush”). More at English grind. The sense for head developed metonymically as a clipping of Kopfgrind.
