Etymology

1. Inherited from Middle French grec, borrowed from Latin graecus, from Ancient Greek Γραικός (Graikós).
2. This learned form supplanted the older grégeois (now only in feu grégeois), from Old French grezois, derived from inherited Old French gri(e)u with the ending -ois, or possibly stemming from a Vulgar Latin *graeciscus.
3. The feminine form in -cque (instead of *grèque) reflects an older spelling habit, which has occasionally survived (compare becquée, jacquet, socque). See: Latin Adjectives 'graecus'.
