Etymology: Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *gres- (“to gnaw, eat”) (although Frisk considers *gr̥s- a more appropriate reconstruction). Possible cognates include Sanskrit ग्रसति (grasati, “to devour”), Old Norse krás f (“delicious food”), and the less likely Latin grāmen n (“grass, herb”).
