A tropical climbing plant bearing edible passion fruit, also spelled granadilla.
From Spanish 'granadilla' (diminutive of 'granada' meaning pomegranate), referencing the fruit's resemblance to a small pomegranate.
This fruit inspired the pomegranate-shaped bomb design, so linguistically and botanically the grenade, grenadier, and grenadilla are all botanical cousins in the European imagination.
