## German
### Etymology

From Middle High German grob, grop, from Old High German grob, girob, of uncertain origin. Compare also Low German groff, Dutch grof, Saterland Frisian groaf, and English gruff.
Per Kroonen, from Proto-West Germanic *grob, from Proto-Germanic *grubaz (“coarse”), from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrewbʰ- (“to grind”). If so, then related to Old High German griobo (“twigs, kindling, firewood”), from Proto-Germanic *greubô (“greaves”).
Alternatively, perhaps from Proto-West Germanic *gahrob, from Proto-Germanic *gahrubaz, *hrubaz (“scabby, crusty, rough”), from Proto-Indo-European *krewp- (“scab”). If so, cognate with Old High German riob (“scabby, leprous, mangy”), Old English hrēof (“rough, scabbed, leprous”)
