A second skin you can take off, which is somehow the whole point.
means A covering for the hand, with separate sheaths for each finger, worn for warmth, protection, or style.
from From Old English 'glof,' for a covering of the hand. It likely traces back to a Proto-Germanic root, and some have linked it to the idea of the 'palm' or hollow of the hand, though the deeper trail grows faint — the kinship of related Germanic forms is clearer than any single ancestor.
