grant

== English == === Alternative forms === graunt (obsolete) === Etymology === From Middle English granten, graunten, grantien, grauntien, from Anglo-Norman granter, graunter, from Old French granter, graunter, graanter, greanter (“to promise, assure, guarantee, confirm, ratify”), from a merger of Old French garantir, guarantir (“to guarantee, assure, vouch for”) (see English guarantee) and earlier cranter, craanter, creanter (“to allow, permit”), from an assumed Medieval Latin *credentāre, from Latin credere (“to believe, trust”). Alternatively, a regular reflex of Medieval Latin *credentāre with regular voicing of /k/ before a liquid plus low vowel. More at guarantee, credit. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) enPR: gränt IPA(key): /ɡɹɑːnt/ (General American) enPR: grănt IPA(key): /ɡɹænt/ (Mid-Atlantic) enPR: grŏnt IPA(key): /ɡɹɒnt/ Rhymes: -ænt, -ɑːnt === Verb === grant (third-person singular simple present grants, present participle granting, simple past and past participle granted) (ditransitive) To give (permission or wish).
