Etymology 1
Most likely grano (“grain”) + -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.
