Etymology

From Middle French glisser, from Old French glicier (“to slip, slide, glide”), from a merger of Old French glacier (“to slip, slide”) and Old French gliier, glier (“to slip, slide, glide”), from Frankish *glīdan (“to slide, glide”), from Proto-Germanic *glīdaną (“to glide, slide”). More at glide.
