词源 1

源自中古英语 grisely、grysly、grissliȝ、griselich、grislich，源自古英语 grisliċ (“恐怖的，骇人的”)，源自grīsan (“使...因惧怕而战栗；颤抖，恐惧；使...颤抖，使...害怕”) （不直接可考，但āgrīsan暗示其存在）^[1] + -lic (构成形容词的后缀，表示“像...的，与...有关的”)。

其还可能是古英语 ongrislic、agrisenliċ的词首非重音形式，其为agrīsan (“使...因惧怕而战栗”, 派生出agrise)的过去分词。^[2]

对比丹麦语 grusom、瑞典语 gräslig、中古荷兰语 grezelijc（现代荷兰语 griezelig）、中古高地德语 grisenlich（现代德语 grässlich、grausen）。
