Morphology

GLB = G + L + B

GLB here is a context-dependent abbreviation that can stand for different words (e.g., 'global', 'glossy'), so the letters alone do not reliably convey a single meaning to learners.

Etymology

GLB is an abbreviation made from the first letters of longer words like 'global' or 'glossy', and it is also the name of a common 3D 'file' format for models. So the meaning of GLB depends on the context and can mean 'global', 'glossy', or a 3D file type.
