Etymology

The word 'grenade' originated from the French word 'grenade', which means pomegranate. The resemblance of the explosive weapon to the fruit in shape led to the term being used for the weapon. Grenades have been used in warfare for centuries, evolving from simple hand-thrown bombs to more sophisticated explosive devices used in modern combat.
