etymology
According to Kluge, both the rasp and the rasp are related to the verb raffen , which is derived from a stem * -hrap ; In some areas, however, a grater is also used to describe a device that is used to strip berries but not to chop them. Grating in the sense of chopping food is viewed as an intensive formation of shirring .
Grate in terms of spread gossip with rattle used, which make a noise means. A connotation is known from the expression It rattles with someone . Possibly are here influences from French ( rêver = dream, fantasize ) and the Latin ( rabere = mistaken be ) available.
