Grond is a noun that primarily refers to a fictional weapon used in J.R.R. Tolkien's renowned fantasy epic, The Lord of the Rings. In Tolkien's mythology, Grond is a massive battering ram made of iron resembling a giant hammer, specifically designed to breach fortified walls and gates. It is most notably mentioned in the climactic Battle of the Pelennor Fields during the War of the Ring. The Dark Lord Sauron, through his servant the Witch-king of Angmar, commands the use of Grond to intimidate and breach the gates of the great city of Minas Tirith.
The depiction of Grond in Tolkien's works emphasizes its colossal size and destructive power, capable of shattering the most impervious barriers. This immense weapon strikes fear and dread into the hearts of the city's defenders, symbolizing the overwhelming force of evil against the forces of good.
Furthermore, "Grond" may also refer to a real-world item in certain languages.

The word "Grond" has its origins in the Dutch language. It comes from the Dutch term "Grond" or "Ground", which means "earth" or "soil".

Tolkien's novel "The Lord of the Rings". In Tolkien's work, "Grond" refers to a massive battering ram used by the forces of Mordor.
