Hand grenade : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hand grenade
A hand grenade is any small bomb that can be thrown by hand. A variety of hand grenades exist, the most common being explosive grenades designed to detonate after impact or after a set amount of time. Grenadiers were originally soldiers who specialized in throwing grenades. ==Etymology== The word "grenade" derives from the French word for a "small explosive shell". Its first usage in English dates from the 1590s. It is likely derived from Old French pomegranate (influenced by Spanish ''granada''), so called because the many-seeded fruit suggested the powder-filled, fragmenting bomb, or from similarity of shape.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymology Dictionary )〕
