i hate the etymology of "glowing"... but i still love the word.

[–] UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

glow (v.)

Old English glowan "to glow, shine as if red-hot," from Proto-Germanic *glo- (source also of Old Saxon gloian, Old Frisian gled "glow, blaze," Old Norse gloa, Old High German gluoen, German glühen "to glow, glitter, shine"), from PIE root *ghel- (2) "to shine," with derivatives referring to bright materials and gold. Figuratively from late 14c. Related: Glowed; glowing. Swedish dialectal and Danish glo also have the extended sense "stare, gaze upon," which is found in Middle English.

glow (n.)

mid-15c., "glowing heat," from glow (v.). Meaning "a flush of radiant feeling" is from 1793.

also from mid-15c.

from terry davis, who's original quote was about cia n*****s glowing in the dark...

now, ol terry is schizophrenic and i can ignore his racist hallucinations and appreciate the great work of TempleOS...

and "glowing" conjures a great radioactive picture of feds for me... but given that it comes from that quote, and was popularized on 4chan, it still makes me feel queasy
