Origin of the word grocery

The word "grocery" traces its roots back to the Old French word "grosserie," meaning "goods" or "merchandise." This term, in turn, came from the Latin word "grossus," meaning "thick" or "large." Initially, "grocery" referred to large quantities of goods, particularly spices and other imported items sold by merchants. Over time, the term evolved to encompass a wider range of goods, ultimately becoming the common name for stores selling food and household staples.
