Etymology 1

Most likely grano (“grain”) +‎ -izo. Alternative and less likely etymologies derive it from Latin grandinem (“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.
