Origin:
The word "grab" likely originated from a Scandinavian language, such as Norwegian or Swedish, where the word "grabba" means "to seize" or "to grasp." It entered the English language in the Middle Ages, possibly through contact with Viking raiders or traders.
The word has undergone some semantic shift over time, broadening its meaning from "to grasp" to include "to seize," "to steal," and (informally) "to understand."
