German edit

Etymology edit

From Middle High German grob, grop, from Old High German grob, girob, of uncertain origin. Compare also Low German groff, Dutch grof, Saterland Frisian groaf, and English gruff.

Perhaps from Proto-West Germanic *gahrob, from Proto-Germanic *gahrubaz, *hrubaz (scabby, crusty, rough), from Proto-Indo-European *krewp- (scab). If so, cognate with Old High German riob (scabby, leprous, mangy), Old English hrēof (rough, scabbed, leprous)

Alternatively, from Proto-West Germanic *grob, from Proto-Germanic *grubaz (coarse), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰer- (to rub). If so, then related to Old High German griobo (twigs, kindling, firewood), from Proto-Germanic *greubô (greaves).
