The word "grinding" originates from the Old English word "grindan," meaning "to crush or rub." This referred to the act of using a millstone to pulverize grains or other materials. Over time, the word evolved to describe any process of rubbing or wearing down, both literally and metaphorically. It's now widely used to describe hard work or effort, stemming from the image of constant, laborious grinding.
