The word "grid" comes from the Old English word "grīd" or "griddle", which refers to a cooking utensil or a metal frame with a mesh-like pattern used for grilling food. It further traces back to the Proto-Germanic word "grīdaną", meaning "to grate" or "to grill". The term "grid" has expanded beyond its original culinary context and is now widely used to refer to various patterns or networks, such as a framework of parallel lines intersecting each other, electrical distribution systems, or graphical displays.
