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. 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 glei̇̃vės (“slime”) or Latvian glīve (“algal bloom”).
