gréer
French edit
Etymology edit
From Old Norse greiða. An initial a was added to form Old French agreier by analogy with verbs like abiller. It was later removed, yielding Middle French greer and grayer, to avoid homophony with agreer.
Pronunciation edit
Verb edit
gréer
- (transitive, nautical) to rig
