The spelling of the word "granolith" can be a source of confusion for many people. It is often misspelled as "granulite," which is an entirely different type of rock. The correct spelling of the word is "granolith," pronounced as /ˈɡrænəlɪθ/. The "g" is silent, and the stress is on the second syllable. The word was derived from the Greek words "granos," meaning grain, and "lithos," meaning stone, making it an apt descriptor for a type of rock known for its granular texture.
