Etymology
**Etymology**
Gratter comes from Old French *gratter*, itself borrowed from Latin *grattare* “to scratch, scrape.” The Latin verb derives from an older root *grāt-*, related to *grata* “scrap” and the Proto‑Indo‑European root *gʰer-/*gʰre- “to scratch, scrape.” The word retained its literal sense of rubbing or scratching through the Middle Ages and was regularized in modern French.
