Etymology

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *gʰln̥d-néh₂-ti and thus related to *glintaną (“to shine”), *glantaz (“bright”), from the root *gʰlend- (“to shine”); the unusual formation may be due to dissimilation *gʰln̥d-néh₂- > *gʰl̥d-néh₂-.[1] Perhaps ultimately from an even earlier root *gʰel- (“to shine”).
