    [Adjective]  | "grave" | \ ˈgrāv \


    1: meriting serious consideration : important

    2: likely to produce great harm or danger

    3: significantly serious : considerable, great


    Origin: 1539 ;

     Borrowed from Middle French & Latin; Middle French grave "having authority, weighty, heavy, low (of a sound)," borrowed from Latin gravis "heavy, oppressive, serious," going back to Indo-European *gwreh2-u- "heavy," whence, from zero-grade *gwr̥h2-u-, Gothic kaurjos (accusative plural of presumed *kaurus) "weighty," Greek barýs "heavy," Sanskrit gurúḥ (comparative garīyas) "heavy, weighty, venerable"; from a t-derivative *gwr̥h2-u-to-, Latin brūtus "heavy, inert" (see: {see: |brute:1|brute:1}), Latvian grū̃ts "requiring much effort or pain, hard, heavy, (of a woman) pregnant"; from *gwréh2-mr̥-, with e-grade and a suffix, Tocharian B krāmär "weight, heaviness";

      * Note : Latin has remade the original u-stem adjective into an i-stem derivative; the same process produced the antonym levis "light in weight" (see: {light:4|light:4}). The Gothic adjective represented by the form kaurjos has no congeners in other Germanic languages; its appurtenance here has been questioned by some, as Winfred Lehmann ("No acceptable Proto-Indo-European etymology …Possibly the labial element was lost in Germanic, though the lack of cognates outside Gothic makes such assumptions speculative." - A Gothic Etymological Dictionary, Leiden, 1986).;
