By surface analysis, глух (gluh, deaf) + -ец (-ec).

Formally identical with Polish głuszec (capercaillie), Czech hlušec (capercaillie), Ukrainian глуше́ць (hlušécʹ, wood grouse), Belarusian глушэ́ц (hlušéc, wood grouse) (cf. Bulgarian глуха́р (gluhár), глу́ха коко́шка (glúha kokóška, grouse) with the same meaning). Georgiev tentatively presumes origin from obsolete *глишь (*glišʹ, rodent) of Thracian origin.
