(slang, transitive) To guess (the meaning of an unfamiliar word) based on hearing its use in context.

Origin: Slight variation of glork in the constructed sentence "This gubblick contains many nonsklarkish English flutzpahs, but the overall pluggandisp can be glorked from context" by David Moser. It is conjectured that hacker usage mutated the verb to glark because glork was already an established jargon term. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
