Etymology

The word 'glasses' originated from the Middle English word 'glasse', which was derived from the Old English word 'glรฆs', meaning a glass vessel. Over time, the term evolved to refer to lenses set into a frame for vision correction, as well as containers for liquids. The use of glasses for vision correction became widespread in the 13th century, and the design and materials have evolved significantly since then.
