Etymology
**Etymology**
The verb *graisser* comes from the noun *graisse* (fat), a late‑medieval form of *gras* ‘fat’. *Gras* is ultimately from Vulgar Latin *grasa*, itself derived from the Latin root *grā‑* meaning “heavy, thick” (cf. *gravis* “heavy”). In Old French the verb was formed with the suffix **‑er** as *graissier*, meaning “to cover with fat”, and it later entered Modern French as *graisser* with the standard infinitive ending **‑er**.
