Etymology[edit]
The noun must be considered to be from Old Norse grunnr m (“bottom”), grunn n (“shallows”), and grund f (“land, ground, field”). Some of these, if not all, are derived from Proto-Germanic *grunduz (“ground, foundation”), whence also English ground. The adjective is also found in Old Norse as grunnr.
