Candleshine

/ˈkændəlˌʃaɪn/ noun

Definition

The soft, warm light produced by burning candles.

Etymology

Compound of 'candle' and 'shine.' This is a poetic or literary term that emerged to describe the distinctive quality of candlelight, contrasting it with harsh sunlight or other light sources.

Kelly Says

Candleshine is almost entirely a literary word now, but it perfectly captures something real—the warm, slightly orange glow of candles actually looks different from modern lighting because of the temperature of the flame!
