I was always told that you could never use the word when trying to define it, but I have to tell you that I have come across more examples of that then I expected when searching for new words. I have used the word gloss before, but not in the way it was defined in the word of the day on http://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day/. Here is was defined as a verb that meant to explain or define something...ok, seriously this might be getting a little ridiculous. It feels a little like Inception.
Anyway, I don't really have a reason for choosing this word over another. It was the word of the day and I thought it was interesting that I have used this word many different times, but was unaware that it had a completely different meaning. Now, I know...and so do you. There are some examples of how it was used at the link above if you are interested. I don't have any more time to gloss it for you.
Ha...see how I did that....ok...I am going to go and get some sleep.
I think you just glossed over that entirely
