köken: Substantive use of Old French grenate in pomme grenate (“pomegranate”), from dialectal northern Italian pom granat, from Medieval Latin pomum granatum (“seeded fruit”), from Latin grānātum. The -d- developed under influence from Spanish granada.
köken: Ultimately from Persian خمباره (xombâra) (compare modern Persian خمپاره (xompâre)); probably via Ottoman Turkish خمبره (humbara, kumbara). The athletic sense is probably a more recent semantic loan from Russian ядро́ (jadró).
köken: Probably a compound of 手 (shu, “hand”) + 榴弾 (ryūdan, “explosive shell”). First cited with this reading to a text from 1922. It remains unclear whether this term was coined in Japanese originally, and then borrowed into Chinese and Korean, or if it was coined in Chinese originally, and borrowed into Japanese and Korean.
köken: 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).
