Meanings

1. A combined glossary and index.
   • Terminology can be an important heading in legal indexes to gather glossary entries and definitions from throughout the document. A twist on this is the 'glindex', a combined glossary and index that is sometimes used as a way of grouping end matter and/or saving space. Glindex-style indexes have been used with pronunciation guides and chemical formula diagrams. 2007, Glenda Browne, Jon Jermey, The Indexing Companion, page 38:
   • For example, the book has a glindex (a combined glossary and index), opening and closing cases, end-of-chapter questions, and so on. 2008, Bruno Dyck, Mitchell Neubert, Management: Current Practices and New Directions, page xxiii:
