What glaze means
A smooth, shiny coating applied to pottery, ceramics, or baked goods, or to coat something with such a finish or a thin layer of liquid that hardens into a glossy surface.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *glasen*, meaning to furnish with glass or make glossy, derived from Old English *glæs* (glass) plus the verb suffix *-en*. The noun glass itself comes from Proto-Germanic *glasam*, related to Old Norse *gler* and ultimately from an Indo-European root meaning "to shine" or "gleam," reflecting the lustrous quality of the material.
