The act or process of shining forth, sparkling, or flashing with light.
Derived from Latin 'emicare' with the addition of '-tion' (a suffix creating nouns from verbs). This noun form developed in English to name the phenomenon of sparkling or gleaming.
While 'emication' is essentially the noun form of 'emicate,' it was particularly favored by natural philosophers and scientists describing optical phenomena, making it sound more technical and precise than simply saying 'sparkling.'
