Etymology of GLANDEROUS

The word "glanderous" is derived from the noun "glanders". The term "glanders" originated in the late 16th century, derived from the Middle Dutch word "glaendren", which means to grate or shred. This Middle Dutch word eventually found its way into late medieval Latin as "glandrosa" or "glanderiosa", referring to a disease called "glanders" affecting horses and other animals. Over time, the adjective form "glanderous" evolved from this noun to describe something associated with or resembling the disease or its symptoms.
