Etymology

[edit]

From Old English *grōma, from Proto-West Germanic *grōmō (growth, tumor, stomach swelling). Compare Middle Dutch grom, Old Norse grómr, gromr, and Old French gromme. Suggested to be either from the same root as growen (to grow), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *grō-, with a noun-forming suffix *-m-.
