The answer
GRAVE
What grave means
A hole dug in the ground where a dead person is buried, or serious and worthy of concern.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *græf*, meaning a dug-out burial place. The word comes from Proto-Germanic *grabaz*, related to the verb "graben" (to dig), which traces back to the Proto-Indo-European root *ghrebh-*, also meaning to dig or scratch. The sense of "serious" or "weighty" developed separately from Latin *gravis*, which shares the same Indo-European root but traveled through a different linguistic path.
