gloaming
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: From Middle English gloming, from Old English glōmung, from Old English glōm (“twilight”). Related to glow.
The OED notes: "The vowel of the modern gloaming is anomalous, as Old English glōmung should normally become glooming. The explanation is probably that the ō was shortened in the compound ǣfen-glommung (as the spelling seems to show was actually the case), and that from this compound there was evolved a new subject glŏmung, which by normal phonetic development became Middle English glǭming, modern English gloaming."
Inflected forms:
form: gloamings
pos: noun

Senses:
gloss: Twilight, as at early morning (dawn) or (especially) early evening; dusk.
pos: noun
