Barad

/bəˈrɑd/ noun

Definition

A hail-like phenomenon or possibly a variant regional term for hail or similar precipitation.

Etymology

Kelly Says

Barad appears in some biblical and Middle Eastern texts as a descriptor of severe hail or weather phenomena—it's a word whose meaning is partly lost to time, preserved mainly in historical documents.
