Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Possibly a derivation of *gribati (“to scrape, to dig”), which is an intensive form of *greti (“to dig, to grave”). The semantic shift can be explained by the resemblance of a mushroom to a dug-out lump.[1]
Alternatively a variant of *glibъ (“mud, silt, slime”) with a sound change *l > *r that is rare in Slavic, from Proto-Indo-European *gleybʰ-os, see Proto-Indo-European *gleybʰ-, from Proto-Indo-European *gleh₁y-.[1][2] Compare *gliva.
