Etymology

[edit]

Origin uncertain. According to Kroonen, from Pre-Germanic *gʰrubʰos, from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrewbʰ- (to grind); see *greupaną (to cut up, grind) for more.[1] Compare also Lithuanian grubus (rough), Serbo-Croatian grȗb (rough, coarse).

Alternatively from *ga- +‎ *hrubaz, related to Proto-Germanic *hreubaz (scabby, rough). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
