Definition
In a manner that shines with a weak, wavering, or intermittent light.
Etymology
Formed from glimmering (present participle of glimmer) plus the adverbial suffix -ly, which converts adjectives and participles into adverbs describing how something happens.
Kelly Says
This word is beautifully rare—it describes not just the act of glimmering, but the *way* something glimmers, making it perfect for poetic description of things like starlight filtering through clouds or the first hint of dawn.
