From Proto-Balto-Slavic *glaušas; also found as *glušas, as in cognate Lithuanian glùšas (“dumb”). Per Vasmer, also cognate with Lithuanian glusnùs, klusnùs (“obedient, attentive”), Samogitian dialectal klùsas (“muffled”), Latvian kluss (“quiet”), where the forms in *k are perhaps more ancient and the forms in *g due to "expressive transformation". If so, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱlew- (“to sound, to hear”). Possibly related to *glupъ (“stupid, foolish”).
