Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *gel- ‎(“form into a ball; ball”) or from *gley- ‎(“to stick; to spread, to smear”).

Or, as preferred by De Vaan, perhaps related to Latin grānum ‎(“grain, kernel”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵr̥h₂-nóm ‎(“matured, grown old”); as pointed out, this depends on a different evolution of the IE semantics: to decay, rather than to ripen.
