===Etymology===
{{etystub|en}}

Possibly a {{blend|en|blob|gob|nocap=1}} or a {{clipping|en|globule|nocap=1}}. An element of {{l|en|sound symbolism}} is clearly involved: compare such phonetically and semantically similar words as {{m|en|glop}}, {{m|en|gop}}, {{m|en|blob}}, {{m|en|clump}} and {{m|en|clod}}. (Still, {{m|en|globe}}, ''clump'' and ''clod'' may be related via the {{der|en|ine-pro|-}} root {{m|ine-pro|*gel-}}; compare {{m|en|clew}}.<ref>{{R:ine:IEW|page=359}}</ref>)

In the programming sense, originates from the early (c. 1970) [[Unix]] command <code>glob</code>; short for {{m|en|global}}.

In the biological sense, proposed by Bevil R. Conway and Doris Y. Tsao, by analogy with the cytochrome-oxidase "[[blob]]s" of V1, an earlier stage in the hierarchical elaboration of colour.
