Glowed

/ɡloʊd/ verb

Definition

Emitted a soft, steady light or heat, often without flames; or showed an expression of happiness and satisfaction.

Etymology

From Old English 'glōwan,' related to Old Norse 'gloa,' from Proto-Germanic roots meaning to glow or shine. Originally described actual light emission, then extended to describe emotional radiance.

Kelly Says

Bioluminescent creatures like fireflies and deep-sea fish prove that glowing is a real biological superpower—they create light through chemical reactions in their bodies, literally making the metaphor of 'glowing with pride' somewhat scientifically real!
