'Moe' suggests the condition of being infatuated with one character or thing and implies an image of someone burning with desire.

The meaning of 'glasses moe' refers to a taste that is taken with a character who wears glasses; furthermore, this taste fetishizes the feature itself of glasses-wearing. In this case, glasses are the 'moe' element.
