Etymology
From Proto-Iranian *graθH- (“to tie (a knot)”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *grantH- (“to tie (a knot)”), and cognate with Sanskrit ग्रन्थ् (granth, “to tie (a knot)”), with further origin uncertain. The traditional derivation from Proto-Indo-European *gre(n)tH- (“to tie”) (itself a hypothetical extension of Proto-Indo-European *ger- (“to twist”)) would make the root cognate with Proto-Germanic *kradô (“wicker basket”), whence English cradle; however, this is not certain, as the Germanic word could very well be of substrate origin instead.
