Definition glimed

Etymology

From Middle English glim, glimme (“radiance; shining brightness”), of uncertain further origin. Perhaps from Old English gleomu (“splendor”) and/or Old Norse *glim, *glima, both apparently from Proto-Germanic *glim?, from Proto-Indo-European *??ley- (“to gleam, shimmer, glow”). Compare Norwegian glim, dialectal Old Swedish glim, glimma.
