Nguồn gốc từ
The verb is derived from Late Middle English glenen, from Old French glener, glainer (modern glaner), from glen(n)are, the present active infinitive of glen(n)ō (to make a collection); further etymology uncertain, possibly from -, from *glanos (clean; clear), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰleh₁- (to glow, shine; to be glowing or shining).
