a death threat your eyes deliver without a single legally actionable word.
means To stare at someone with fierce, hostile intensity — or, of light, to shine with a harsh dazzling brightness.
from From Middle English 'glaren,' meaning to shine or stare, likely related to Middle Low German and Middle Dutch 'glaren' (to glow, glisten) and a cousin of 'glass' and 'glow' through an old Germanic root for shining brightness. The eye-meaning and the light-meaning grew up together: both are about something too bright, too direct, too hard to look away from.
