Definition grith
Etymology
Late Old English griž, from Old Norse griš (domicile, home), in the plural with a meaning "truce, peace; sanctuary, asylum".
The English word is attested from the early 11th century, and after the end of the Anglo-Saxon period assumed a meaning of peace in general, especially by association with frith. The word became obsolete by the 16th century, or during the 17th century in Scottish English, but was revived in the context of historical novels in the 19th century.
The verb grižian (to make peace) appears in the Laws of Ęthelred (Žęt hi Godes cirican ę?hwar ?eorne grišian and frišian) and in Middle English is attested occasionally during the 13th century.
