Etymology edit
From Proto-Indo-European *grep- (“hook”), from *gremb- (“crooked, uneven”), ultimately from *ger- (“to turn, bend, twist”) (cf. English grapple, Old French grape, grappe, crape (“hook”), Norwegian grep (“grasp”)). Alternatively a contraction of variant gërepë, from archaic and dialectal gërjepë, from Proto-Albanian *ga-repa, from *repa (“to peel, tear off”) (modern rrjep). More at rrjep.[1]
