In reply to:
for the record, gram is from the Greek word for for 'a small weight' (the L. gramma is the closest I can come), and grammar comes from classical L. and Gr. (grammatica in L.) denoting the methodical study of literature.
Grammatika comes from the Greek gramma, grammatos, which means letter, writing, and is also the name of small weight.
