Where this word comes from
From graut (“porridge; thick, soft mass”) + -e (“verb-forming suffix”). The base noun graut continues Old Norse grautr (“porridge”) and is related to gryte (“pot, cooking pot”). In the historical Telemark sense, the verb referred to visiting a woman after childbirth while bringing her porridge. The custom and visit itself were called grauting (“traditional postpartum porridge visit”), while the visiting women were known as grautkjerringer (“porridge women”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk graute (“to cook porridge; knead or stir together”).
