† gristn.¹

Forms: Old English grist- (in combination: see gristbiting n.), gyrst, Middle English gryste.

Etymology: Old English grist- , gyrst , cognate with Old Saxon grist- in gristgrimmo gnashing of teeth; compare Old High German grisgrimmôn , grisgramôn to gnash the teeth (Middle High German grisgimmen , -gramen , grustgramen ; German griesgramen to sulk), Middle High German grisgram gnashing of teeth (German griesgram peevishness, peevish person, also as adjective). It is difficult, in spite of the resemblance of sense (compare ‘to grind the teeth’), to connect the word etymologically with grind v.¹; it may be cognate with Old English gryrran, georran, Latin hirrīre to snarl, or be purely onomatopoeic.

Obsolete.
