Archaic. to appear conspicuous; stand out obtrusively. v.t. 7. to express with a glare: They glared their anger at each other. [1250-1300; (v.) ME glaren; c. MD, MLG glaren; akin to GLASS (cf. OE glaeren glassy); (n.) ME, deriv. of the v.] Syn. 1. flare, glitter, flash. 4. See shine. 5. GLARE, GLOWER, GLOAT all have connotations of emotion that accompany an intense gaze. To GLARE is to look piercingly or angrily: A tiger glares at its prey. To GLOWER is to look fiercely and threateningly, as from wrath; it suggests a scowl along with a glare: to glower at a mischievous child. To GLOAT meant originally to look with exultation, avaricious or malignant, on something or someone: a tyrant gloating over the helplessness of his victim. Today, however, it may simply imply inner exultation. glare2 /glair/, n. a bright, smooth surface, as of ice. [1560-70; special use of GLARE1] |
