Word origin
The term 'gross' in a financial context originates from the French word 'grosse,' meaning 'large' or 'big,' and has been used in financial terminology since the late 19th century. It was adopted into English to emphasize the total amount earned without deductions. On the other hand, the informal usage of 'grossed' relating to disgust comes from the earlier English use of 'gross' meaning 'coarse' or 'tasteless' in the 18th century. This usage has evolved over time, gaining popularity in colloquial speech to express feelings of offense or revulsion. The dual meanings of the word showcase its versatile application in both financial and social contexts.
