| Front | noun Occult learning; magic. [From Old French gramaire (grammar, book of magic), from Greek gramma (letter). Ultimately from the Indo-European root gerbh- (to scratch), which also gave us crab, crayfish, carve, crawl, grammar, program, graphite, glamor, anagram, paraph, and graffiti. Earliest documented use: 1320.] “There is naught of the power of gramarye in you. If there were, you would know it.” - Cecilia Dart-Thornton; The Lady of the Sorrows; Pan Macmillan; 2003. |
