glob
Soft wet mass
A glob is a soft, rounded lump or mass of something, typically wet or sticky: a glob of paint, a glob of peanut butter.
The word suggests shapelessness and a certain messiness.
In computing, glob refers to pattern matching using wildcards to select filenames: The glob *.txt matches all text files.
