      So might as well note that the way I say “gloss” is because I got frustrated with there not being an English desglosar.

      And I’m habitually sloppy with my neologisms when it’s just for personal use, because #aesthetic. Uh, I mean, because [something legitimate]

      Desglosar is translated as “to break down”, “itemize”, but people don’t use “itemize that for me” to mean “explain me this thing”.

      also "analyze" is just "break down" in Greek

      there's also "unpack", but that's a bit academic jargon

      ironically closest to the physical gesture I mean when I say it, but that happens to me with jargon a lot

      I'm not sure that means what you mean though - "gloss" more means "interpret" than "explain"

      it's an academic version of what we'd colloquially call giving a "take" on something

      it could get you in trouble using it to mean what you mean esp w the idiom "to gloss over" meaning to ignore or cover up
