Is it pronounced gross grain or gros (rhymes with Ross) grain or a la francais growgrehn?



I've never heard anyone say it.

I agree. I've always heard it pronounced "grow grain".

Grow-grain, just like Pogonip and Dorot said.

Funny word.

From the French: " large grain, coarse texture". Never thought to look it up before. DM pronounced it correctly so I always did, but never thought of where the word came from.
