glam
Dazzling style, shortened
Glam is glamour compressed into a punchy syllable, used as noun, adjective, and verb.
As an adjective, glam describes flashy, attention-grabbing style: glam makeup, glam rock.
To glam up is to make yourself or something more glamorous: She glammed up for the party.
The word carries a hint of excess—glamour turned deliberate and theatrical.
