Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: grass n.¹, earth n.²

Etymology: < grass n.¹ + earth n.² Compare post-classical Latin grashurtha (1260 in a British source). Compare gavel-earth n. at gavel n.¹ Compounds and also grass-acre n. at grass n.¹ Compounds 5.In Middle English, the word is only attested in Latin contexts. The frequency of forms with initial h- and other formal variation seen in the β. forms suggests that the connection with earth n.² was no longer clear; such forms may show influence from herd n.² or hearth n.¹ (compare the interpretation implied in quot. 1706).

Now rare (historical after Middle English).
