Origin

Late Middle English: probably from Middle Low German glistern or Middle Dutch glisteren.

glitter from Late Middle English:
Things have glittered since the 14th century, and the word comes from Old Norse glitra. All that glitters is not gold dates back at least to the early 13th century: Shakespeare uses it, in the form all that glisters is not gold, in The Merchant of Venice. Glister is probably from the Middle Dutch variant of the word. Glitzy, ‘showily attractive’, first appeared in the USA in the 1960s. It was based on glitter, and probably influenced by ritzy and perhaps also by German glitzerig ‘glittering’. Ritzy comes from the luxurious Ritz hotels, and is first recorded used by P. G. Wodehouse in 1920.

Rhymes
