Correct spelling for the English word "grager" is [ɡɹˈe͡ɪd͡ʒə], [ɡɹˈeɪdʒə], [ɡ_ɹ_ˈeɪ_dʒ_ə] (IPA phonetic alphabet).
The word "grager" has Hebrew origins and is derived from the word "grogger". In Jewish tradition, a "grogger" is a handheld noisemaker commonly used during the holiday of Purim. It is typically a wooden or metal instrument with a handle and a spinning component that creates a rattling or clacking sound when spun. The word "grogger" itself is believed to come from the Yiddish word "grager" which means "rattler" or "rattle". The usage of this instrument during Purim is intended to drown out the name of the antagonist Haman whenever it is mentioned during the reading of the Book of Esther, as a symbolic way of expressing disapproval and frustration towards this character.
