Etymology

The term 'grouting' originates from the early 19th century, deriving from the word 'grout'. 'Grout' itself has Middle English roots, likely from the Old French 'groute' which means 'something coarse or grainy'. In construction, grouting has been used to enhance the structural integrity of buildings and facilitate the installation of tiles and stones. Its use can be traced back to ancient civilizations where builders utilized similar techniques to secure their materials and protect against water damage. Over time, the composition of grouting materials has evolved, incorporating modern compounds to improve durability and resistance to elements.
