Etymology
From Middle French grège (“(adjective) of silk: raw, unfinished; of the colour of such silk, greyish-beige; (noun) raw or unfinished silk; the colour of such silk, greyish-beige”), from Italian greggio (“raw, unrefined; unbleached”); further etymology uncertain, possibly from Vulgar Latin *gregius (as in lana *gregia (“untreated wool as obtained from the flock”)), from grex (“flock (of sheep, etc.)”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ger- (“flock, herd; to gather”).
