A fitted covering for the hand with separate sections for each finger and the thumb, worn for protection, warmth, or fashion.

From Old English *glof*, meaning a covering for the hand. The word likely comes from Old Norse *lófi*, meaning palm of the hand, with the initial *g-* added as part of English sound patterns.
