What grout means

A thick paste or mortar used to fill gaps and crevices between tiles, bricks, or stones, creating a waterproof seal and finished appearance.

Where the word comes from

Grout comes from Old French "grout," meaning sediment or dregs, which may derive from Frankish or Germanic roots related to grinding or particles.

Its modern construction sense—a mortar used to fill gaps between tiles or masonry—developed from this notion of a thick, particle-laden paste filling spaces.
