Trapped sunlight that turns sand into something you can scream through but not climb out of.
means The act of fitting glass into windows and doors, or the panes of glass themselves; also the glassy coating applied to pottery or food.
from From 'glaze,' which traces back to 'glass' — an Old English word, 'glæs,' with relatives across the Germanic languages (German 'Glas,' Dutch 'glas'). The deeper root may be tied to an ancient word for shining or amber, fitting for a substance prized for its gleam. The '-ing' simply turns the act of glassing-over into a noun, whether you're sealing a window or sheening a pot.
