The light produced by a fire, especially the warm glow of a campfire, fireplace, or flames.
Compound of 'fire' and 'light' (from Old English 'lēoht'). Used since medieval times to describe the illumination from flames before electric lighting.
For most of human history, firelight was the only way people could extend activities into the night, which is why so many cultural traditions and stories center around gathering around fires.
