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."
