Etymology
1. From Old Norse gljúfr, possibly from Proto-Germanic *gleubō-, *gleubaz, *glub, *gleub-, from Pre-Germanic *glub (“slit, opening”), from a substrate language. See also Dutch glop (“opening, hole”), gleuf (“slit”), and Icelandic gljúfur.
2. However, also compare gloypa (“to gulp”), from *gleupan, *glūpan. See: Old Norse Nouns '
gljúfr', Dutch Nouns '
glop', Icelandic Nouns '
