What glare means

A harsh, bright light that shines directly into your eyes and makes it difficult to see clearly.

Where the word comes from

From Old Norse *glarra*, meaning to gleam or glitter. The word entered Middle English through Scandinavian contact in northern England. It originally referred to a bright, shining light, then came to mean an uncomfortably bright or harsh light that hurts the eyes. The sense of staring intensely developed later, possibly from the idea of eyes shining or reflecting light.
