PIE *bhel から、輝く、きらめく、輝いて見える。blitheと語源は同じ。 blissに影響されたスペル。

bliss

bliss: [OE] Despite its formal and semantic similarity, bliss has no connection with bless. It comes ultimately from Germanic *blīthiz ‘gentle, kind’, which is the source of English blithe ‘happy’ [OE]. The addition of the noun suffix *-tjō produced the derivative *blīthsjō, which entered Old English as blīths ‘happiness’, later reduced to bliss.
=> blithe

bliss (n.)

Old English blis, also blies "bliss, merriment, happiness, grace, favor," from Proto-Germanic *blithsjo (cognates: Old Saxon blidsea, blizza), from *blithiz "gentle, kind" + *-tjo noun suffix. Originally mostly of earthly happiness; influenced by association with bless and blithe.
