An archaic or variant term for grain; seed or small hard particles, especially of cereal crops.
From Old French 'graine,' derived from Latin 'granum' (grain or seed), reflecting older spelling conventions still used in historical texts.
The Latin root 'granum' gives us not just 'grain' and 'graine,' but also 'granule,' 'pomegranate' (apple with grains), and even 'grenade' (a weapon shaped like a grain)!
