Glose
A glose is a comment Linguistique added in the body of a text or of a delivers, or in its margin explaining a foreign or dialectal word, a rare term. The term comes from the old Greek γλῶσσα/ glỗssa , literally “language”, which indicates in fact the term difficult to explain. The explanation itself is named γλώσσημα/ glốssêma . Currently, glose returns to the explanation and not to the word to gloser. Lastly, a glossary is properly a collection of gloses, i.e. (with the direction first) a list of definitions clarifying of the obscure or old terms. Currently, the term is often used for Lexique .
In the old texts, because of deteriorations due to the successive copies, it happens sometimes that some gloses become indistinguishable original text. The historical analysis of these texts tests, inter alia, to detect the gloses while being based on the phylogeny of the words used and the Grammaire, these two elements, for a given language, having slightly varied during time.
The gloses are also used in Philologie when the language of the author of gloses is badly known. Their study then makes it possible to better know this language.
Not to confuse a glose with the Gnosis .
A glose is also a poem which parodies another very known poem at a rate of worms parodied per stanza.
