  1. Gloze

    Gloze is a verb that means to disguise or conceal the true meaning of something, usually through clever or deceptive language or behavior. It is often used when referring to the act of trying to make something appear more acceptable, appealing, or favorable than it actually is.

    When someone glozes, they are typically attempting to smooth over or gloss over a situation, making it seem better or less problematic than it truly is. Glozing is commonly associated with manipulative tactics or persuasive techniques, as it involves intentionally obscuring the reality or downplaying the negative aspects of a particular circumstance.

Etymology of GLOZE

The word gloze originated from the Middle English term glosen, which was derived from the Old English word glosian. In turn, glosian can be traced back to the Old Norse word glyja, meaning to give a specious interpretation, to cajole, to flatter. Over time, glosen evolved into gloze in Middle English, and it retained the original sense of deceptive or flattering speech. The term was often used in literature to describe someone's attempt to disguise or obscure the true meaning of something. Today, gloze is less commonly used and has taken on the modern form of gloss.
