Etymology

The word 'grille' originated from the Middle French word 'grille' meaning 'gridiron' or 'grating.' It came into use during the Late Middle Ages, influenced by the Latin word 'cratis' which means 'fence' or 'wickerwork.' The original sense of the word related to a framework of bars or a grill used for cooking or as a barrier. Over time, the term has evolved to encompass various types of grill-like structures both in cooking and in automotive contexts.
