The word "glaringly" originated from the Middle English word "glaryng" which means shining or bright. It is derived from the Old Norse word "glæra" which means to shine. Over time, the suffix "-ly" was added, transforming "glaring" into an adverb to describe something that is extremely conspicuous, obvious, or striking.
