Illuminated from behind, so light shines through an object or creates a bright outline behind something.
From back (Old English bæc) + lit (past tense of light, from Old English lēoht), literally 'lit from the back.'
Backlit screens changed everything about how we interact with technology—from phones to car dashboards—because light traveling through displays creates sharper images than light bouncing off surfaces.
