Etymology of GRIME

The word "grime" originated from Middle English, around the 14th century, and it derives from the Old English word "grīma". Originally, "grīma" referred to a mask or visor, often worn by actors or warriors. Over time, the meaning of "grime" evolved to describe dirt, filth, or soot that accumulates on surfaces. The transformation of the word's meaning from a mask to dirt likely occurred due to the association of accumulated grime with masks or disguises that conceal the true appearance of an object or person.
