The French word *gluant* (used as an adjective and occasionally as a noun) derives from the present‑participle of the verb *gluer* “to glue, to stick”. *Gluer* itself comes from Latin *glutenum* “glue, adhesive”, from the verb *glutere* meaning “to stick”. The Latin root is linked to the Proto‑Indo‑European *glut‑ “to be sticky”, a form that entered French in the Middle Ages and produced the modern *gluant* in the 14th century.
