Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen anglais: glew

In summary

From Middle English glew, glue, from Old French glu (“glue, birdlime”), from Late Latin glūs (stem glūt-), from Latin glūten. Related to clay.
Partially displaced native Old English līm (“glue”) and ġelīman (“to glue”) (whence modern lime).
