Related to or produced by glands, which are organs in the body that make and release substances like hormones or sweat.
From Latin 'glandula' (acorn, small gland), because glands resembled acorns in shape. The suffix '-ar' means 'relating to,' creating the adjective form.
Your body has hundreds of glands—some visible (sweat glands) and some hidden deep inside (pancreas, thyroid)—and they control almost everything from your mood to your growth to your digestion. The thyroid gland alone produces hormones that affect your metabolism and energy levels.
