Etymology
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?)
