gloatv.

Brit.

/ɡləʊt/, U.S.

/ɡloʊt/

Forms: 1500s–1600s gloate, gloit, gloyt, 1600s glott, 1600s–1800s glote, 1600s– gloat.

Etymology: Of obscure origin, but apparently = Middle High German and modern German glotzen to stare, Swedish (dialect) glotta to peep, Old Norse glotta to grin. Probably taken up in the 16th cent. from some dialect, in which it may have been an adoption < Old Norse.Although common in the 17th and 18th centuries, the word is not in Phillips and was unknown to Johnson, who quotes the lines from Rowe (see 2 below) with the remark, ‘This word I conceive to be ignorantly written for gloar ’. The development of sense 3 has probably been more or less influenced by association with glut v.¹
