Portuguese[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Borrowed from Spanish granizo.
Noun[edit]
granizo m (plural granizos)
- hail (balls of ice)
Spanish[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Most likely derived from grano (“grain”), with the suffix -izo. Alternative and less likely etymologies derive it from Latin grandinem, accusative singular of grandō (“hail, ice ball”), through a Vulgar Latin root *grand(i)niceum (however this presents some phonetic difficulties), or perhaps later influenced by grano and -izo[1]. Compare a similar development in Occitan granissa. Cf. also Italian grandine.
