The etymology of the word "greim" is uncertain, as it does not have a widely accepted origin. "Greim" is a noun that means "grasp" or "grip" in English. It is primarily used in Scottish and Irish Gaelic.
Some theories suggest that "greim" may have its roots in Old Norse, as there is a similar word "grima" in Old Norse meaning "grasp" or "clutch". The influence of Scandinavian languages on Gaelic-speaking areas during the Viking Age and later could have contributed to the adoption of this word.
Another possible origin is from the Proto-Celtic word "kremetā", meaning "to touch" or "to handle". This theory suggests that "greim" evolved from the Proto-Celtic root.
