Etymology

**Etymology of *grimpe* (noun)** *Grimpe* is a noun formed from the French verb *grimper* (“to climb”). The verb goes back to Old French *grimpier*, which in turn derives from Latin *grappere* (“to grip, to hold”), a sense that was metaphorically extended to mean “to ascend by gripping a steep surface.” Thus *grimpe* literally denotes the act of climbing by gripping.
