Originally Russian word formed from the onomatopoeia гра (gra) +‎ -ач (-ač). Cf. ка́ркать (kárkatʹ) and other similar words with onomatopoeic origin, such as Ukrainian грак (hrak, “rook”) and крук (kruk, “raven”).

грач • (grač) m anim (genitive грача́, nominative plural грачи́, genitive plural граче́й)

1. rook (a black bird whose large flocks signal the arrival of spring)

From Old Ukrainian играчъ (ihrač), грачъ (hrač); the noun ending with "ъ" instead of the expected "ь" as well as the forms with "ґ" suggest borrowing from Old Polish igracz (Polish gracz, Old Ukrainian ґрачъ (grač), кграчъ (grač)); ultimately from Proto-Slavic *jьgračь (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?). Equivalent to грати (hraty) +‎ -ач (-ač).
