Etymology 1

[edit]
This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “Khmer loan? Feels like the "fin, spine" sense may be more likely the original sense. Appears to be from กระ (grà, augmentative prefix) + an element โจม (joom) of unclear interpretation and origin (probably not invoking the usual sense of "rush forward).”
