Definition
Flashing or sparkling brightly; gleaming with sharp flashes of light.
Etymology
From prefix 'a-' + 'glint'. Formed through the productive Old English 'a-' adjectival pattern, preserving a construction method that was common in Middle English.
Kelly Says
Sharp and quick, 'aglint' describes sudden bright flashes—like sunlight bouncing off a sword or water—and the hard 'gl' sound makes it feel like the actual ping of light hitting your eye.
