Etymology

From Old Galician-Portuguese agarimar (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria). Perhaps from Latin *aggremiare, from Latin gremium (lap, bosom);[1] alternatively from a Suevic[2] descendant of a Proto-Germanic *ga- +‎ *rīmą (number, calculation), whence Old High German girīman (to count, to be granted). The semantic evolution would be in that case: "to put in a pile", then "to bring near", then "to shelter".
