A glove (Middle English from Old English glof) is a type of garment (and
more specifically a fashion accessory) which covers the hand of a human.
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 finger are sometimes called gauntlet. Gloves
which cover the entire hand but do not have separate finger openings or
sheaths are called mittens. Mittens are warmer than gloves made of the same
material because the extra air inside improves insulating, and because
fingers maintain their warmth better when they are in contact with each
other.
There is also a hybrid of glove and mitten which contains open-ended
sheaths for the four fingers (as in a fingerless glove, but not the thumb)
and also an additional compartment encapsulatin
