Etymology

The term 'gross' originates from the Latin word 'grossus,' which means 'thick' or 'coarse.' This word evolved through Middle French as 'gros' before making its way into English in the 14th century. Initially, it referred to something large or coarse in texture, and its meanings expanded over time. In financial contexts, 'gross' came to denote the total amount before any deductions. The transition into the term 'grossing' signifies the action of accumulating this total, particularly in commerce and entertainment. By the late 20th century, the term gained traction in the film industry, where it is commonly used to describe total box office revenue.
