Nguồn gốc từ
ine-pro 15th century. Borrowed from glint, from Middle English glenten (to shine, gleam; flash), probably from Old Norse *glenta, from Proto-Germanic *glantijaną, causitive of Proto-Germanic *glintaną (to gleam, shine), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰley- (to shine). Cognate with glente, glänta, gletta, glinzen; compare also glinta, glimt, glanta, gletta (to glide, slip).
