what does the “gladiolated” mean ？
I know it philosophically and in my flesh, through a hazy, gladiolated* foreglimpse.

Question

Answer

As Ali said, the gladiolus is a plant noted for being brightly coloured. The author could be using a neology in order to suggest that the foreglimpse was vivid.

Answer

Answer

Not a word!

Answer

I don't think it's even a word. Although gladiola is a plant which has a lot of brightly colored flowers.
