A glove (Middle English from Old English glof)
is a type of garment which covers the hand.
Gloves have separate sheaths or openings for
each finger and the thumb; if there is an opening
but no covering sheath for each finger they are called
"fingerless gloves". Fingerless gloves with one large opening
rather than individual openings for each fingers are sometimes
called gauntlets. Glove which cover the entire hand but do not
have separate finger openings or sheaths are called mittens.
