Etimologia (English)

Inherited from anglès mitjà: glotien

Cognate with francès: engloutir

In summary

From Middle English glotien, from Old French gloter, glotir (compare French engloutir (“to devour”), glouton (“glutton”)), from Latin gluttiō, gluttīre (“I swallow”). Akin to Russian глотать (glotatʹ, “to swallow”).
