語源 1

Of uncertain origin. Attested since the first century AD in sense 1 and since the time of Augustine in sense 2. Likely a slang term dating back further still. Often compared to crassus (synonym for sense 1) or to the noun grossus (“unripened fig”). Perhaps cognate with Proto-Celtic *brassos (“great, violent”) via a Proto-Indo-European *gʷroD-to-.
