EN: gross (unit of quantity)
The more Spanish-sounding, slightly more 'alta' version of 'gros'. It also means 144 pieces (12 dozens). If a supplier in Divisoria says 'gros', their competitor trying to sound more sophisticated might say 'gruesa'. Both mean you're about to buy a heck of a lot of something.
From Spanish 'gruesa' (a gross).
Synonymous with 'gros'. Used in wholesale and industrial contexts.
