Gk. doxa "expectation" (Homer), later "opinion, fame," and ultimately "glory," was used in Biblical writing to translate a Heb. word with a sense of "brightness, splendor, magnificence, majesty," and was subsequently translated as L. gloria, which has colored that word's meaning in most European tongues. Glory days was in use by 1980s; glorious is c.1275, from O.Fr. glorieus, from L. gloriosus "full of glory," from gloria. Glorified in the sense of "transformed into something better" is recorded from 1821. ...Английский Этимологический словарь
