Origin of the word glazed

The word "glazed" originates from the Middle English word "glazen," which meant "to make glassy" or "to cover with glass." This word itself comes from the Old English "glæs," meaning "glass." The word "glazed" evolved to describe the shiny, smooth surface achieved by applying a glassy coating, such as on pottery or pastries. Today, it also encompasses a state of dullness or inattentiveness, reflecting the glassy, unfocused stare of someone who's lost in thought or bored.
