Etymology
The term 'glossed' originates from the Latin word 'glossa', meaning 'tongue' or 'language', which later evolved into its current form through Old French 'glosse', referring to a gloss or commentary. It was commonly used in the context of providing explanatory notes alongside texts, especially in academic settings. Over time, the word has also been adopted more broadly to denote any form of clarification or interpretation, beyond just textual annotations. The evolution of the word reflects its deep ties to education and literature, where understanding and clarity are paramount.
