hand grenade is a small hand-held anti-personnel
weapon designed to be thrown and then explode after a short time. The word
"grenade" is derived from the French grenade, meaning pomegranate,
so named because its shrapnel
pellets reminded soldiers of the seeds of this fruit. Grenadiers
were originally soldiers
who specialized in throwing grenades.
