Etymology[edit]
From pre-Germanic *gʰrm̥tús, a tu-stem derived from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrem-.[1] Kroonen connects Proto-Indo-Iranian *ȷ́ʰarmyám (“permanent building”), which would imply the root to be *ǵʰrem- ~ *ǵʰerm-. Less likely related to Lithuanian pã-grindas (“lake bottom”, literally “under-floorboard”) (pace Orel[2]), for which see *grindiz (“fence made of bars”), Proto-Indo-European *gʰrendʰ- (“beam, plank”).
