Etymology
Grăsime is built from the Romanian adjective gras, meaning fat or fatty, plus the suffix -ime, which turns an adjective into an abstract or collective noun. Gras descends from Latin crassus, meaning thick or fat. The suffix -ime is native to Romanian and appears in other collective nouns like mulțime, meaning crowd.
