Definition

Usage Examples

Etymology

**Greffe** comes from Old French *greffe* “graft”, derived from the verb *greffer* “to graft”. That verb is ultimately from Latin *grappus* “twig, small branch”, which in turn traces back to the Proto‑Indo‑European root for “branch, twig”. The term was adopted in the 19th century to refer to the surgical transplantation of organs, keeping the botanical metaphor of grafting.
