Etymology
The term 'grenadier' is derived from the French word 'grenadier', which originally referred to a type of soldier who specialized in throwing grenades. The term was later adopted in the field of medicine to describe a type of cell that is found in the human body. The exact reason for this naming is not known, but it is speculated that it may be due to the cell's ability to 'explode' and release certain substances, similar to how a grenade explodes and releases shrapnel.
