Grimme

/ɡrɪm/ noun

Definition

An obsolete or archaic spelling variant of grime; dirt or filth (historical usage).

Etymology

Older spelling of grime from Middle English and early modern English. Reflects historical spelling variation before standardization.

Kelly Says

Grimme is what grime looked like in Shakespeare's time—languages naturally standardize spelling over centuries, which is why old texts can look like a different language entirely.
