Pronunciation

Etymology 1

[edit]

From Vulgar Latin *grānicium or from grano (grain) +‎ -izo. Alternative and less likely etymologies derive it from Latin grandinem (hail, ice ball), through a Vulgar Latin root *grand(i)niceum, or perhaps later influenced by grano and -izo; but dialectal Portuguese grainço (Cf. painço) and graelo shows a relation with Latin grānum.[1] Compare a similar development in Occitan granissa. Cf. also Italian grandine.

Noun

[edit]

granizo m (plural granizos)

  1. (uncountable) hail

  2. (countable) hailstone
