Glew

/ɡluː/ noun

Definition

An archaic or dialectal spelling of glue, a sticky substance used for binding materials together.

Etymology

From Old French 'glu', from Latin 'glus' (glue). The spelling 'glew' represents an older English orthography before standardized spelling conventions were established in the 18th century.

Kelly Says

The spelling 'glew' shows up in old manuscripts and trade documents—it's the same word as modern 'glue,' but people spelled it differently because standardized spelling is actually a recent invention!
