Where the word comes from
From Old English *glæd*, meaning "bright" or "shining," which comes from Proto-Germanic *glaða-. The sense shifted to describe an open, sunlit space in a forest—a place where light breaks through. The word fell out of use in most Germanic languages but survived in English, eventually becoming the poetic term we know today for a clearing.
