A glade is a small open space inside a wood or forest, where the trees step back and light can come down. Grass or low plants often grow there. It is not a field a farmer cut — it is a pocket of openness in the trees, and the word feels a little story-like, the kind you meet in books and poems more than on a city street. English has had it since Middle English, when glade could also mean a gleam of light or a bright patch; it may sit near old words for “shining” or “bright”, but the origin is not certain, so we should not pretend we know the first spark.
組成From Middle English glade, glode, glede (“a gleam of light; an open space in a forest”), of uncertain origin, perhaps related to Old English glæd (“shining, bright”).
