可以想成手裡抓起一把碎石：幾十顆小小的硬角，沒有一顆是平滑的。gravelly 的感覺就從這裡長出來——它講的粗糙不是一整塊的粗，而是由很多小顆粒堆出來的粗。這種粗糙可以出現在腳下的路面，也可以出現在一個人的嗓音裡。From the word’s history
The source entry supplied in this packet traces gravelly to Middle English gravelli, meaning covered with gravel or sand, formed from gravel plus the adjective ending -ly. The stones are the older picture; the voice use borrows it.
本包附的來源條目說 gravelly 來自中古英語 gravelli，意思是「鋪滿碎石或沙的」，由 gravel 加上形容詞字尾 -ly 組成。石頭是比較早的畫面，聲音的用法是後來借過去的。
