These phrases cover physical growth as well as the development of a town, business, problem, or feeling.

grown の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 grōwan（成長する・育つ）に由来し、ゲルマン祖語*grōaną（緑になる）から。greenと同根で「植物が芽吹く」が原義。関連語：grow（育つ）、growth（成長）。grownはその過去分詞形で「成長し終えた」状態を表す。
Grown is the past participle of grow, which comes from Old English growan, “to grow or flourish.” The verb belongs to a Germanic word family associated with vegetation and becoming green, and it is historically related to green and growth. English preserved an irregular pattern rather than creating a regular form with -ed: grow developed the past tense grew and the past participle grown.
