köken: Inherited from Middle Persian [script needed] (glwb' /graw/), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *grabʰ-, from Proto-Indo-European *gʰrebʰ-. Cognate with Avestan 𐬔𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬡 (gar^əβ, “to seize”), Sanskrit ग्रभ् (grabh), English grab. Related to گرفتن (gereftan, “to take”).
köken: Borrowed from Latin hypotheca (“pledge for a loan”). Ultimately from Ancient Greek ὑποθήκη (hupothḗkē, “warning, pledge”), from the verb ὑποτίθημι (hupotíthēmi, “put down, pledge”).
Some refer it to Proto-Indo-European *peyǵ- or *peyḱ-; others refer it to Proto-Indo-European *peh₂ǵ- (“to fasten, fix”); its meaning perhaps being "something pinned/fixed/retained (as pledge)".
