Etymology
Gros comes from Latin grossus, meaning thick, big, or coarse. Grossus was a Vulgar Latin word with no confirmed root further back in Proto-Indo-European; its origin before Latin is disputed among etymologists. The same Latin word spread across the Romance languages and even into English through French.
