Occurring before dawn or in the time before the rising of the sun; pertaining to the hours of darkness before morning.
From Latin 'ante-' (before) combined with 'lucanus' (related to 'lux' meaning light), literally meaning 'before the light.'
Antelucan hours have inspired poets, soldiers, and astronomers alike—that pregnant darkness before dawn when the world feels like it belongs to only those awake to witness it.
