grain
n.穀粒 [ A small, dry, one-seeded fruit of a cereal grass, having the fruit
and the seed walls united]
ex. After harvest we store the grain.

n.粒,細粒(ex.砂,鹽) [A relatively small discrete particulate or crystalline

granite
n.花崗石 [a coarse-grained igneous rock(火成岩) composed chiefly of
orthoclase(正長石) and albite feldspars and of quartz(石英), usually with
lesser amounts of one or more other minerals, as mica, hornblende, or augite.]
字源：1646, from Fr. granit(e), from It. granito "granite," originally
"grained," pp. of granire "granulate," from grano "grain," from L. granum
"grain."
granite這個字最最先的源頭是拉丁文的graum，它指的就是grain顆粒的意思，因為在花
崗岩上有很多顆粒，因為有這個特徵，所以就用graum來造出了這個字了。
ps.
字尾-ite：a suffix of nouns denoting esp. persons associated with a place,
tribe, leader, doctrine, system, etc. (Campbellite; Israelite; laborite);
minerals and fossils (ammonite; anthracite); explosives (cordite; dynamite);
chemical compounds, esp. salts of acids whose names end in -ous (phosphite;
sulfite); pharmaceutical and commercial products (vulcanite); a member or
component of a part of the body (somite).
如果你看到-ite是個名詞尾，
1.它可以指的是人且由字根來形容此人，比方說 Israelite以色列人。israel
2.另外ite做結尾可以指礦物、化石等相關概念的東西。
3.其他的用法可指炸藥、化學物質之類的。

-ose字尾：a suffix occurring in adjectives borrowed from Latin, meaning 「

ps. graphic card 顯示卡
graphite
graph(write; draw)-ite
n.【礦】石墨
ps. 因為graphite可以用來寫，所以用graph字根來構成此字，字尾ite代表礦物
GR音如壓擠聲，以gr開頭的字，隱含「緊憋或緊張」

n.抓住;領會
ps. grab vs. grasp
grab有「掠奪、抓取」之意，grasp則指是「抓牢、抱緊、領會、理解」，所以，在強調
佔領奪取時用grab，若僅是抓牢某件事或領會某個道理，則用grasp
grasping
