Did you know?

  • The word 'grape' originally named the harvesting hook, not the fruit - 'grape' comes from an Old French word for a vine-cutting hook, and the meaning slid to the bunch it gathered.

Word origin

From Old French 'grape' / 'crape', meaning a bunch of grapes or a hook, from a Germanic root for 'hook' - referring to the hook used to harvest the clusters, not to a single berry.

Remember it

GRAPE rhymes with 'shape' - picture the round shape of each berry hanging on the vine.

a green globe goes purple, then
