Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *gel- (“form into a ball; ball”) or from *gley- (“to stick; to spread, to smear”).(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “citation for *gel-, *gley-”) Or, as preferred by De Vaan, perhaps related to Latin grānum (“grain, kernel”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵr̥h₂-nóm (“matured, grown old”); as pointed out, this depends on a different evolution of the IE semantics: to decay, rather than to ripen.
