Word of the Day for Friday, October 31, 2008gloaming \GLOH-ming\, noun: Twilight; dusk. The children squealed and waved and smiled, their teeth flashing white in the gloaming. It was the gloaming, when a man cannot make out if the nebulous figure he glimpses in the shadows is angel or demon, when the face of evening is stained by red clouds and wounded by lights. Arrived at the village station on a wintry evening, when the gloaming is punctuated by the cheery household lamps, shining here and there like golden stars, through the leafless trees. Gloaming comes from Old English glomung, from glom, "dusk." | |||||||||
