Definitions

  1. A color between black and white; also something dull, cloudy, or aging.

Word origin

From Middle English gray, from Old English grǣġ (West Saxon). The spelling gray reflects the West Saxon vowel development, whereas the variant grey stems from the Anglian form grēġ (through Middle English grey). Further derived from Proto-West Germanic *grāu, from Proto-Germanic *grēwaz (“grey”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰreh₁- (“to green, to grow”).

Used in a sentence

  • the era of gray, boring banality and stagnation
  • It's a pretty grey outlook for England if these are a sample of the mothers of the coming generation.
  • I have already gone gray and lost my looks.
