Something arrives on a slant, touches the side of what it meets, and slides on. It never lands square, so it gives up only a little of its force and leaves only a light trace.
glancing 可以想成一個斜斜掠過的畫面：東西不是正面對上，而是從旁邊斜著碰到，摸了一下就滑開。因為沒有撞實，力道只交出一小部分，留下來的痕跡也很淺。整個字的用法都像是從這個畫面長出來的：先是物體之間的斜擦，再搬到說話上，變成「話只碰到那個主題一下就走」。
