1、gross

2、gross: [14] gross comes via old french gros from late latin grossus ‘large, bulky’, a word of unknown origin (not related to german gross ‘large’). its association with literal physical size has now largely died out in english, in the face of a growing figurative role in such senses as ‘coarse, vulgar’ and (of amounts) ‘total, entire’. its use as a noun meaning ‘144’, which dates from the 15th century, comes from the french phrase grosse douzaine ‘large dozen’. grocer is a derivative, as is engross [14]; this originally meant ‘buy up wholesale’, hence ‘gain exclusive possession of’ and, by metaphorical extension, ‘occupy all the attention of’.=> engross, grocer
