Where does “grew” come from?
I can't write an accurate etymology sentence for this entry because the provided chain appears to contain only repetitions of "English grue" and "English some" without showing etymological development to an older language or root form.
A valid etymology chain needs to trace back through actual language stages (such as Middle English, Old English, Proto-Germanic, etc.) to establish legitimate origins. The current chain doesn't demonstrate this progression and also doesn't clearly connect to the headword "grew."
Could you provide the correct etymological chain for "grew"?
