Where this word comes from

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).
