释义

glairn.1

Brit. /ɡlɛː/, U.S. /ɡlɛr/
Forms: Middle English–1500s glayre, gleyre, (Middle English gleyere, gleyȝy(e)r, 1500s gleyr), Middle English–1600s gleire, (1500s gleir, gle(e)re, 1500s–1600s gleare), 1600s–1800s glare, Middle English– glaire, 1700s– glair.
Etymology: < French glaire, found in 13th cent. The forms in the other Romance languages (Provençal glara, clara, Italian chiara, Spanish clara) indicate Latin clāra, feminine of clārus bright, clear, as the source of the French word. The change of initial fromc to g must have been early, as Ælfric's Gloss. (c1000) has ‘Glara, æg-lim’; some scholars have ascribed it to confusion with glārea gravel, but this is unlikely, as there is no evidence that this word had the sense of ‘clay’ or adhesive soil. Medieval Latin glaria, applied to the viscid juice of grapes in Barth. De Propr. Rerum, is probably a latinization of French glaire.
1. The white of an egg; frequently in full the glair of an egg, of eggs. Also, a technical term for preparations made from the whites of eggs and used in various trade-processes, esp. book-binding (see quot. 1893).
