The small, hard seeds of cereal plants like wheat, rice, or corn, or the texture and pattern of lines visible in wood, stone, or other materials.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *grain* and Latin *granum*, meaning a seed or small hard particle. The Latin word is related to the verb *gerere* (to bear or carry), since grain is what plants bear. The sense expanded to mean cereal crops in general, then small units of weight, and eventually any tiny particle or speck of something.
