    A grenade is a small bomb. A person can throw it by hand, or a special gun can fire it. After you start it — often by pulling a pin — it blows up a few seconds later. Soldiers use grenades; ordinary people do not, and in most places it is a serious crime to have one. People say hand grenade for the kind you throw. The word first named a fruit, the : the old bombs were round and packed with little pieces, like the seeds in that fruit. That fruit-name is also why English garnet, the red stone, sits in the same word family.
