From grau (“grey”) + -lich (“-ish”).
gräulich (strong nominative masculine singular gräulicher, comparative gräulicher, superlative am gräulichsten)
From Middle High German griulich, griuwelich, from griuwel, griule, griul (modern Gräuel (“horror, atrocity”)). Compare Dutch gruwelijk; also related with English gruesome.
The spelling greulich, which formerly distinguished this word from etymology 1, was abolished in order to adjust it to related words with -au- (like Grauen).
