Etymology 1
1604, short for bridegroom (“husband-to-be”), from Middle English brydgrome, alteration (with intrusive r) of earlier bridegome (“bridegroom”), from Old English br?dguma (“bridegroom”), from br?d (“bride”) + guma (“man, hero”). In Middle English, the second element was re-analyzed as or influenced by grom, grome (“attendant”). Guma derives from Proto-Germanic *gumô (“man, person”), from Proto-Indo-European *d???m?m?; it is cognate to Icelandic gumi and Norwegian gume and, ultimately, human.

Etymology 2
From Middle English grom, grome (“man-child, boy, youth”), of uncertain origin. Apparently related to Middle Dutch grom (“boy”), Old Icelandic grómr, gromr (“man, manservant, boy”), Old French gromme (“manservant”), from the same Proto-Germanic root. Possibly from Old English gr?ma, from Proto-Germanic *gr?mô, related to *gr?an? (“to grow”), though uncertain as *gr?an? was used typically of plants; its secondary meaning being "to turn green".
Alternative etymology describes Middle English grom, grome as an alteration of gome (“man”) with an intrusive r (also found in bridegroom, hoarse, cartridge, etc.), with the Middle Dutch and Old Icelandic cognates following similar variation of their respective forms.
