词源

Related to Scots glisk (“to glance, glimpse; to give a transient gleam”), and Shetlandic dialect of English glisk (“gleam of sunlight through cloud; a glow of heat from a fire”). Also Northern English glissy (“shiny, glistening”). Further etymology unclear: either from Old English glisian (“to glitter”) with diminutive suffix -ky, and cognate with English glitter and glisten, or hypothetical loan word from Old Norse *gliskr (“shimmering”), cf: Norwegian Nynorsk glisa (“to gleam, flash, glisten”), but note neither Cleasby & Vigfusson nor Zoëga list any such word. Shetlandic glisk possibly inherited from Norn (hence Old Norse), or from Scots (hence Old English).
