Etymology

The term 'glassing' can be traced back to the early use of glass in construction and art. The word 'glass' itself originates from the Old English 'glรฆs', which means 'glass, mirror', derived from Germanic roots. As glass-making technology advanced in the 19th and 20th centuries, the term evolved to encompass various practices related to glass installation and preservation. In surfing culture, 'glassing' references the method of applying fiberglass to surfboards, a technique that grew popular as surfboard manufacturing developed. This dual meaning illustrates how the application of glass has impacted both architecture and recreational activities.
