Where this word comes from
Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *gel- (“form into a ball; ball”), but the morphology is unclear; more information at globus and glaeba. Formal difficulties notwithstanding, apparently cognate with Sanskrit ग्लुन्थ (gluntha, “lump”), Proto-Germanic *klumpô (“mass, lump, clump; clasp”) and Proto-West Germanic *klott (“clod, lump, ball”) if this etymology is correct.
