Etymology
**Gravir** comes from the Latin adjective *gravis* “heavy, steep”. In Old French it appeared as **grave**, and the verb‑forming suffix **‑ir** produced *gravir*, literally “to make or go over a steep, heavy slope”. The figurative sense of “to climb, ascend” has survived into contemporary French, while related verbs such as *graver* (to engrave) evolved separately.

grimper
