In an aeronotical sense it means to fly an aircraft without a running engine or with no engine ..as we do.. nothing is or compareable to flying like a bird.

What is Gliding?
Gliding is many different things to many different people. For some, it is just a casual hobby, and a way to meet new people. For others, it is an inexpensive way to get airborne. For others, gliding offers the exhilaration of spectacular looking aerobatics. For many, including the competitors in these world championships, it is a cutting edge sport.
the joy of gliding is to be found in simply enjoying the freedom to roam the skies as breathtaking scenery unfolds below, but if you like to compete, Gliding can be one of the most challenging and demanding individual sports, testing both mental and physical endurance to its limits

Flying a sailplane is probably the closest thing any human will come to feeling like a bird. Powered only by gravity and air currents, the glider move silently through the sky, often for hours at a time. Because they have no engines, gliders or sailplanes can be thought of as pure flying vehicles, staying aloft by balancing the forces of gravity, lift, drag, and thrust

I think the best in gliding is that feeling when you feel your self and your A/C like one body, feeling speed direction adn Yaw.
The most enthosiastic moment for me was when I was able to feel the A/C Yaw correction without watiching the turn and slip indicator.
