The adjective **glaive** is a figurative extension of the Old French noun *glaive* “sword,” which was borrowed from Frankish *glaiv* (cognate with the Proto‑Germanic *glaivaz “blade”). This Frankish term itself was influenced by Latin *gladius* “sword” and entered French in the 12th century. By the 18th century the word was used figuratively as an adjective meaning “swift and lethal, like a sword.”
