What gland means

An organ in the body that produces and secretes substances such as hormones, sweat, saliva, or other fluids needed for bodily functions.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English *glande*, borrowed from Old French *glande*, which came from Latin *glandula*, a diminutive form of *glans* meaning "acorn" or "mast." The resemblance between small acorns and certain bodily structures inspired the anatomical term for organs that secrete substances like sweat, saliva, or hormones.
