Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro gravāmen (physical inconvenience) and gravāmen (grievance), from Latin gravāre + -men. Gravāre is the present active infinitive of gravō (to burden, weigh down; to oppress), from gravis (heavy; grave, serious; hard, troublesome) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʷreh₂- (heavy)) + -ō.
