[edit]Etymology
[edit]Of disputed origin:
- Beekes derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *gʰlew-o-s, from *gʰlew- (“to joke, make fun, enjoy”). In this case, cognate with Lithuanian glauda (“joke, jest”), Ancient Greek χλεύη (khleúē, “joke, jest, scorn”), Russian глуми́ться (glumítʹsja, “to mock, scoff at”), Serbo-Croatian глу́мити (“to act, feign”). See *glaumaz (“jubilation”) for more potential cognates.[1]
- Kroonen derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *gʰley-wo-s, from a root *gʰley- (“to shine”), comparing Old Irish glé (“clear, bright”).[2] Said root may be further related to Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰel- (“to shimmer, gleam”).
