Where this word comes from

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. Compare a similar development in Occitan granissa. Cf. also Italian grandine.
