der Enkel, der Enkelsohn
"Enkel" can mean both "grandson" or, more generally, "grandchild".
"Enkelsohn" is more specific, meaning "grandson".

Enkel
I agree with the first answerer.............but Enkel is in Singular always a son!!!
Just Enkel..........this would be ok!It would be more natural.......nobody in Germany would say Enkelsohn!

Enkel, ENkelsohn, Enkelkind
"Enkel" is probably commonly used. However, I've got a German "Opa" who usually refers to me as his "Enkelsohn". Maybe it's a generational thing? But I agree that if you want to be reaaaaly precise, then you should use "Enkelsohn", if not, "Enkel" will do.
