Etymology
The ending recalls other sound words like ἄραδος (árados), κέλαδος (kélados) and ὅμαδος (hómados). According to Beekes, it is from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrem- (“to resound, thunder, grumble, roar”), the same root of χρεμετίζω (khremetízō, “to whinny, neigh”), χρόμος (khrómos, “kind of noise”), Proto-Germanic *grimmaz (“grim, fierce”) and Proto-Slavic *gromъ (“thunder”).
