Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gleh₁y- (sticky, liquid), as in glynu, with a prefix equivalent to er-.[1]

Formerly, erlyn- (or erlin-) was the stem with -d acting as a verbnoun ending (as in bod, yfed, cymryd, etc.; see Proto-Celtic *-tus).[2] In Modern Welsh, erlyn (to prosecute) is used as the verbnoun for a separate verb.[3]
