===Etymology===
A {{borrowing|dum|glas|lang=lv|nocap=1}} or {{etyl|gml|lv}} {{term|glas||glass (material; container)|lang=gml}}. The Germanic term probably meant originally "amber" (a meaning still attested in {{etyl|goh|-}}), and only later "glass." The borrowing is first mentioned in 17th-century {{etyl|lv|-}} dictionaries (though the family name ''Glāznieks'' is already attested in Kurzeme in the 16th century). Up until the 19th century, {{term|glāze|lang=lv}} meant both the material and the container; by the late 19th century on, these two meanings had already been split between {{term|glāze|lang=lv}} and {{term|stikls|lang=lv}}.<ref>Karulis, Konstantīns. 1992, 2001.
