Where this word comes from
Unknown. Originally meant “wicket, gate” (in western Savonian and Ostrobothnian dialects). Most senses have developed through “grate, grating” (perhaps influenced by German Gitter, English lattice, which also went from “grate, grating; grid, mesh” → “grating, lattice (in scientific senses)”); “gate” (in a field effect transistor) from “grid” (in a vacuum tube).
