Etymology

The word 'gritty' originates from the noun 'grit', which comes from the Old English word 'grytt', meaning 'grains' or 'small particles'. This term evolved to describe a texture resembling small granules or particles. Over time, 'gritty' adopted additional meanings, particularly in 20th-century English, where it began to describe not only physical textures but also metaphorical qualities such as tenacity and resolve in difficult situations. The comparative form 'grittier' reflects this development by highlighting an increase in these characteristics, thus expanding the word's usage in literature, film, and everyday language to emphasize stronger and more intense qualities.
