Etymology
Comes from Middle English glim, glimme (“radiance; shining brightness”), whose further origin is uncertain. It may derive from Old English gleomu (“splendor”) and/or Old Norse *glim, *glima, both apparently from Proto-Germanic *glimō, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰley- (“to gleam, shimmer, glow”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk glim and dialectal Old Swedish glim, glimma.
