grill

grill
grill (n.) "gridiron," 1680s, from Fr. gril, from O.Fr. greil, alteration of graille "grill, frating, railings, fencing," from L. craticula "gridiron, small griddle," dim. of cratis "wickerwork," perhaps from PIE *kert- "to turn, entwine." The verb meaning "to broil on a grill" is from 1660s; figurative sense from 1842, and the specific (trans.) sense of "to subject to intense questioning" is first attested 1894. Related: Grilled; grilling. In many instances, Mod.Eng. grill is a shortened form of GRILLE (Cf. grille), such as "chrome front of an automobile."
