Definition
The action of making something dim or less bright.
Etymology
Present participle of 'bedim,' formed by adding '-ing' to the base verb. This follows standard English gerund formation with the 'be-' prefix verb stem.
Kelly Says
The continuous form shows how even archaic verbs can take modern grammatical forms—you can still use 'bedimming' in old-fashioned or poetic writing to describe an ongoing process of darkening, like 'the bedimming of hope.'
