Origin of the word grad

The word "grad" is a shortened form of "graduate," which comes from the Latin word "gradus," meaning "step" or "degree." In academic contexts, "graduate" originally referred to someone who had "stepped" to a higher level of education. The abbreviation "grad" became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a convenient way to refer to graduates, especially in college settings. Its widespread use has solidified "grad" as a common and accepted term for a person who has completed a course of study.
