Etymology: Corresponds to Middle Dutch grakinge , griekinge of the same meaning; apparently a derivative, with -k -suffix, from the root of Old Norse grýja to dawn (viewed by Noreen as cognate with grá-r grey adj., though belonging to a different ablaut series). Compare, however, the synonymous Dutch krieken (older kriecke ) and English creek n.2, screak n., skreigh n.2Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈgreking.
