Meaning:
A grouse is a type of bird belonging to the order Galliformes. Grouse are typically plump, ground-dwelling birds with feathered legs and toes. They are found in temperate and subarctic regions around the world.
Origin:
The word "grouse" is thought to derive from the Proto-Indo-European root *ǵréwH-, meaning "crane." This is likely due to the similarity in size and shape between cranes and grouse. Over time, the word "grouse" came to be specifically used to refer to the group of birds known as grouse.
