Etymology
rfc-level|Etymology not at level 3
The term is a Faroese invention. A school of pilot whales reminds of a framework (see grind (1) above) in the sea, because they swim very close to each other. The Faroese term was loaned in many other languages cf. German Grindwal, Danish grindehval or Dutch griend.
