  1. (uncountable) dynamite (class of explosives)
    • 1868 September 9, “Exterior”, in Correio Mercantil, volume XXV, number 248, Rio de Janeiro, page 1, column 6:
      Ha algum tempo escrevi sobre os desastrosos effeitos produzidos pela explosão de uma insignificante porção de nitro glycerina que, possuindo effeitos poderosos, tem comtudo o maior inconveniente de fazer explosão mui facilmente e causar os maiores desastres. Encontro em uma folha recente a noticia de um novo agente explosivo cuja força não parece ser inferior a do primeiro mencionado, e que tem a vantagem em não ter o perigo de se incendiar, ou por pressão ou por temperatura elevada ou fricção, etc. Dão-lhe o nome de Dynamite, que se parece a uma area de cor castanha escura.
      Some time ago I wrote about the disastrous effects produced by the explosion of an insignificant amount of nitroglycerin that, despite having powerful effects, has the big inconvenience of exploding very easily and causing the biggest disasters. I've found in a recent paper the news about a new explosive agent whose power does not seem to be inferior to the aforementioned one, having the advantage of lacking the risk of igniting itself by pressure or high temperature or friction etc. They call it dynamite, and it looks like a sand of dark brown color.
  2. (by extension) dynamite stick
    Synonym: banana de dinamite
Usage notes
  • Usage as a masculine is sometimes considered nonstandard.
