Swedish[edit]

Etymology[edit]

The weapon and mineral are named after the fruit. Latin pomum granatum means an apple with many seeds, from Latin granum (“seed”). Spanish influence formed the French grenade, which became granat in German, Danish, and Swedish. Used in Swedish since 1578 (fruit, the compound granatäpple already in 1541), 1568 (mineral), 1623 (weapon).

  3. (archaic) a pomegranate (fruit)
    Synonym: granatäpple
  4. (archaic) a pomegranate (tree)
  5. (mineralogy) a garnet, a group of minerals with regular crystals

Usage notes[edit]

In technical language, for example in formal names of weapons, "handgranat" seems to be fairly consistently used for hand grenades, to distinguish them from shells and non-handheld grenades. In other contexts, "granat" is often used instead of "handgranat," when clear from context.
