Etymology
Perhaps from Proto-West Germanic *glitinōn, from Proto-Germanic *glitinōną, from a root cognate with Old Norse glitra + Proto-Germanic *-inōną. Ultimately from *ǵʰel- (“to shine, shimmer, glow”). Related to Old English glisnian (“to glisten”) and glīdan (“to glide”). More at glitter, glisten, glint, glass. See: Old English '
glisnian'.
