Etymology 1

[edit]
A bunch of grapes (noun sense 1)

    Inherited from Middle English grape, borrowed from Old French grappe (“cluster of fruit or flowers, bunch of grapes”), deverbal from graper (“to pick grapes”, literally “to hook”), borrowed from Frankish *krappō (“to hook”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *greb- (“hook”) or *gremb- (“crooked, uneven”), from *ger- (“to turn, bend, twist”). Displaced Old English wīnberġe (“grape”, literally “wine-berry”). Cognate with Middle Dutch krappe (“hook”), Old High German krapfo (“hook”) (whence German Krapfen (“Berliner doughnut”). Doublet of grappa. More at cramp and grapple.
