Definition
Emitting light as a result of being heated; glowing with intense heat; passionately brilliant.
Etymology
From Latin 'incandescere' (to glow white), from 'in-' (intensely) + 'candere' (to shine/glow). Same root as 'candle' and 'candid' (originally: white/pure).
Kelly Says
Glowing SO hot you become LIGHT! And the same Latin root gave us 'candle' AND 'candid' — because the ancients thought truth was white-hot and glowing! When you're incandescent with rage, you're literally on FIRE! 🔥💡
