Gloamings

/ˈɡloʊmɪŋz/ noun

Definition

Plural of gloaming; multiple instances or periods of twilight or dusk.

Etymology

From gloam + -ing (gerund/noun suffix) + -s (plural marker). Gloaming is the noun form created from the verb, describing the action or state of twilight.

Kelly Says

The word 'gloaming' is the gerund form, turning the twilight into an action, a process—implying that dusk isn't just a moment but an active darkening. Multiple gloamings across seasons or years creates a poetic sense of temporal cycles.
