Origin:
The word "grasp" ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European root "*ghrebh-," meaning "to seize or grasp." This root is found in numerous other Indo-European languages, including Sanskrit, Latin, and Greek.
In English, "grasp" has been used since before the 12th century. Its original meaning was primarily to seize or take hold of something physically, but over time it has also come to be used metaphorically to describe understanding or control.
