Alternative and less likely etymologies derive it from Latin grandinem (“hail, ice ball”), through a Vulgar Latin root *grand(i)niceum, or perhaps later influenced by grano and -izo; but dialectal Portuguese grainço (Cf. painço) and graelo shows a relation with Latin grānum. Compare a similar development in Occitan granissa.
