Candescently

/kænˈdɛsəntli/ adverb

Definition

In a manner that is glowing or luminous; with the quality of becoming incandescent.

Etymology

From candescent (relating to or producing candescence) plus -ly (adverb-forming suffix).

Kelly Says

This adverb is rarely used in modern English, but when it appears, it creates a wonderfully evocative image—describing something moving or occurring 'candescently' conjures glowing, heat-based transformation.
