/ɡraf/, [ɡʀɑf]
HierkonftFrom Middle High German grof, northern variant of grop, from Proto-Germanic *grubaz. Cognate with German grob, Dutch grof. The form graff, graffen is generalised from the uninflected stem; the inflected stem yielded gruef, gruewen, which is attested dialectally (but had the disadvantage of merging with the verb gruewen (“to dig”)).
- rough, coarse
- coarse, vulgar, crude
- rugged, hard-wearing
