Etymology

Inherited from Old Spanish grada (“a step of a staircase”), derived from Old Spanish grado (“a staircase, a rank”) via a change in gender (compare Late Latin puncta, from punctus), inherited from Latin gradus (“a step, pace; a step of a staircase; a rank”), derived from Proto-Indo-European *gʰredʰ- (“to walk, go”).
