Inherited from Old East Slavic граница (granica) attested in Southern Rus' since 1375 and speculated to be an Old Polish loan, even though there's no scholar consensus, ultimately from Proto-Slavic *granica. The more common Muscovite term was Middle Russian рубежъ (rubež), but it was to some extent displaced, perhaps under Polish and Ruthenian infuence. By surface analysis, грань (granʹ) +‎ -и́ца (-íca).
