1840 D. Mushet Papers Iron & Steel 12 Fifty years ago this process of granulation was carried on at the Cyfarthia iron works to some extent. The iron so obtained was called grundy, from the noise produced by the revolution of a large horizontal stone, placed in the water-pit, on which the iron fell in its descent.

/ˈɡrəndi/

Etymology: < the surname Grundy.

The surname of an imaginary personage (Mrs. Grundy) who is proverbially referred to as a personification of the tyranny of social opinion in matters of conventional propriety. In Morton's play Speed the Plough (1798), Dame Ashfield is represented as constantly fearing to give occasion for the sneers of her neighbour, Mrs. Grundy. Her frequent question ‘What will Mrs. Grundy say?’ became proverbial (probably with especial reference to the passage quoted below) as expressing the attitude of those who regard the disapproval of society as the worst of evils.
