English

Etymology

Borrowed from French grimoire, a variant of grammaire, from Old French gramaire (“grammar; grimoire; conjurer, magician”), from Latin grammatica (“grammar; philology”), from grammaticus (“of or pertaining to grammar, grammatical”), from Ancient Greek ??????????? (grammatikós, “knowing one's letters; concerned with textual criticism”), from ?????? (grámma, “that which is drawn or written; letter; book, writing”) + -???? (-ikós, suffix added to noun stems to form adjectives). ?????? is derived from ?????? (gráph?, “to cut into, scratch; to draw, paint; to write”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gerb?- (“to carve”)) + -?? (-ma, suffix added to verbal stems forming neuter nouns denoting the result of, a particular instance of, or the object of an action). The English word is a doublet of glamour, grammatic, and grammar.
