Plural of gramary; stores or repositories where grain is kept; granaries or storehouses for grain.
From Old English 'gern' or Middle English 'grane' (grain) + '-ary' (place where something is kept). The word developed as a warehouse term in medieval agricultural and trading contexts.
Medieval gramaries were so important to town survival that they were often built as fortified structures—controlling the gramary meant controlling who starved and who ate during sieges or famines.
