Definition glim
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.
