    Note

    The y of glory holds firm before -ing, and the form nearly always reaches for in to name its cause: glorying in success, in a late goal. Its tone can tip two ways, because the verb covers both rejoicing and boasting. Glorying in a friend's win is joy; glorying in a rival's fall shades into pride. A third use, archaic and poetic, means shining radiantly.
