Grillwork is traced as follows: Compound of grill (from French grille 'grating', from Latin craticula 'small gridiron') + work (from Old English weorc). Morphologically, the form is compositional, with the named elements combining to produce the modern spelling and sense. In present use, it is used as a noun meaning "ornamental work made of crossed metal bars", so the historical material remains connected with the current sense rather than standing as bare ancestry.

The named historical forms include Latin craticula and Old English weorc, keeping the history tied to concrete forms rather than a loose resemblance.
