Etymology
Along with griū́ti (“to collapse”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrewH- (“to rush in, attack”). Cognate with Latvian graût (“to destroy, thunder”), Latin ingruō (“to attack”), Ancient Greek χράω (khráō, “to attack, inflict”).[1][2]
The "destroy" and "thunder" meanings are traditionally treated separately in Lithuanian dictionaries; however, Derksen considers them to be of the same origin.[2] He also considers griáusti (“to thunder, roar, knock”) to be related.[3]
