Etymology: From Middle English glasen, from glas (“glass”) (Modern English glass), from Old English glæs, from Proto-Germanic *glasą. Related to glazen. In the sense of "overcompliment", originated in November 2021 and popularized throughout 2022, and allegedly suggests the spattering of semen on the complimented person, following "the visual of a donut being glazed"; could be derived by analogy of sugarcoating first before a sexual connotation is taken separately.
The noun is from the verb.
