If your dictionary doesn't include the second definition, then you
should throw it away & go buy a real dictionary.

"Fiberglass or glassfibre is material made from extremely fine fibers
of glass. It is used as a reinforcing agent for many polymer products;
the resulting composite material, properly known as fiber-reinforced
polymer (FRP) or glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), is called
"fiberglass" in popular usage.

Glassmakers throughout history have experimented with glass fibers,
but mass manufacture of fiberglass was only made possible with the
advent of finer machine-tooling. In 1893, Edward Drummond Libbey
exhibited a dress at the World's Columbian Exposition incorporating
glass fibers with the diameter and texture of silk fibers. What is
commonly known as "fiberglass" today, however, was invented in 1938 by
Russell Games Slayter of Owens-Corning as a material to be used as
insulation. It is marketed under the trade name Fiberglas (sic), which
has become a genericized trademark."

Don't you have anything better to do than to sit around & pontificate
