覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
glaze「ガラスをはめる・釉薬や光沢を施す」＋ -er「〜する人」と分けると、「ガラスを扱う職人」と理解できます。窓を測る、ガラスを切る、店先に取り付けるという作業場面で覚えましょう。ただし窓ガラス職人の標準的な職業名は glazier で、Glazer と大文字なら姓の場合もあります。
Break glazer into glaze plus the agent ending -er: literally, someone who glazes. Picture a craftsperson measuring a window frame, cutting a pane, and installing the glass. This connects the word with a concrete trade rather than with glass as a material alone. Be aware that glazier is the standard and more common occupational term for a person who fits window glass. Capitalized Glazer is also a surname, so capitalization and context matter. The related verb glaze may also refer to applying a glossy or glasslike coating, not only installing glass.
