Etymology of GRIPPING
The word "gripping" originated from the Old English word "gripian" or "gripan", which means "to seize" or "to grasp". It is related to other Germanic languages, such as Old High German "grefan" and Middle Dutch "grijpen". Over time, the meaning of "gripian" evolved to include the sense of a strong, firm hold, both physically and metaphorically, which led to the development of the word "gripping" as we use it today.
