glared

Shot daggers visually

Glared is the past tense of glare, meaning to stare with intense hostility or anger: She glared at him across the table.

A glare is fiercer than a look but stops short of action—it communicates displeasure without words.

Light can also glare when it shines harshly: The sun glared off the windshield.
