Origin:
The word "gravel" is believed to have originated from the Proto-Germanic root *kres-/ *kraus-, meaning "rough" or "hard." This root is also related to the words "crush," "cradle," and "crease."
The word "gravel" was first used in the 13th century in Middle English to refer to small stones or pebbles. It is likely that the term was originally used to describe the rough, hard surface of a gravel road.
Over time, the word "gravel" has come to be used to refer to any aggregate of small stones or rock fragments, regardless of the size or shape of the individual particles. Gravel is commonly used in construction, landscaping, and road building.
