語源

From French grimace, from Middle French grimace, from Old French grimace, grimuche, from grime (“mask”) (with the pejorative suffix -ace, from Latin -āceus), from Frankish *grīma, *grīmō (“mask”), from Proto-Germanic *grīmô (“mask, helmet”). Cognate with 古期英語 grīma (“mask, visor, helmet, spectre, apparition”). More at grime.

発音

(英国発音) IPA: /ˈɡɹɪm.əs/, (now rare) /ɡɹɪˈmeɪs/; enPR: grĭm'-əs, grĭ-mās'
(米国発音) IPA: /ˈɡɹɪm.əs/, (now very rare) /ɡɹɪˈmeɪs/; enPR: grĭm'-əs, grĭ-mās'
韻: -eɪs

The pronunciation with stress on the second syllable was the usual one in the 1700s and 1800s, found in poetry and preferred by dictionaries to the pronunciation with stress on the first syllable, but it is now very rare.
