Bringing or providing light; illuminating; light-bearing.
From Latin 'lucifer' (light-bearer) — 'lux' (light) + 'ferre' (to carry). Before 'Lucifer' became the Devil's name, it was Venus (the morning star) and it simply meant 'light-bringer.' The word is innocent!
Before it became the Devil's name, 'Lucifer' just meant LIGHT-BRINGER — the morning star Venus! The word 'luciferous' is completely innocent! It means 'carrying light!' Matches, teachers, and dawn are all luciferous! 🌟📚
