Etymology

The word is known from Old Czech, when it referred to a kind of fungus, probably fungus of the genus Pleurotus as in modern Czech.[1] It is related to Lower Sorbian gliwk (“resin”), Old East Slavic глива (gliva, “slime, clay”), Russian dialect гли́ва (glíva, “bergamot pear”), Ukrainian глива (hlyva, “oyster mushroom”) or Serbo-Croatian gljȉva (“mushroom”). Comes from Proto-Slavic *gliva, which was probably derived from *glivěti (“cover with slime”) and is related to Lithuanian gleĩvės (“slime”) or Latvian glīve (“algal bloom”).[2][3]
