glassworks

/ˈɡɫæswɜɹkz/ noun

A factory that produces glass or glassware.

Word Origin 'Glass' from Proto-Germanic 'glasam,' related to 'glow' and 'glare' from PIE *ghel- 'to shine.' 'Works' from 'work' meaning a place where work is done. So glassworks is a factory where glass is made, literally 'shining-work-place.' The same root gives us 'glassblower,' 'glassware,' and 'fiberglass,' while the PIE *ghel- also gave us 'gold,' 'yellow,' and 'gleam' — all shining things.
