Daynet

/ˈdeɪˌnɛt/ noun

Definition

A lightweight net or screen used during daylight, potentially for catching insects or providing shade.

Etymology

Compound of 'day' + 'net,' descriptive term for netting used specifically during daytime hours.

Kelly Says

While 'daynet' is rare in modern English, it represents a whole class of forgotten tools—every object and task used to have specific equipment, and as tools become multi-purpose or electronic, these precise names vanish from language.
