ItrCOs an unremarkable borrowing from late Latin, OED describes [ad. late L. grumus little heap, hillock;]. I canrCOt find any convincing further etymology

De Vann in the _Etymological Dictionary of Latin_ (2008):

------------------->
gr+2mus rCyheap of earth, hillockrCO [m. o] (Acc.+)
Derivatives: d-ogr+2mare 'to level off (Enn,+).
PIt. *gr+imo- rCyheaprCO.
PIE *hree||r-+im-o-. IE cognates: see s.v. gremium.

Lat. grumus could be connected with gremium < *grem- and OCS gramada
rCyheap, pilerCO < *gr+im-. A preform *gr+imos may have turned into gr+2mus phonetically: the change of *+im > +2m might also found in h+2m-Unus
(see s.v. hom+i). The words that retain -+im- either have a following
front vowel (abd+imen, n+imen, f+imes, m+imentum. t+imenium, +imen, v+imer, c+imis) or are due to a contraction of *o+e (p+imum, pr+imus); the
only exception is R+ima. Thus, the raising of *+i in front of m may
require the additional condition of a following back vowel (no
exceptions) or non-front vowel (exception R+ima; but being a name,
this may have escaped the sound change). For the relevance of the
vowel in the next syllabe for the a vowel change, compare the change
*e > o /m,w _ CV[non-front] discussed by Schrijver 1991: 466-470.
Note also that the raising of *-o to Lat. -2 is conditioned in a
similar way, viz. by -i- in the next syllable,
