Shining

/ˈʃaɪnɪŋ/ adjective

Definition

giving off or reflecting bright light; excellent or outstanding

Etymology

from Old English scīnan 'to shine' + -ing suffix, related to German scheinen

Kelly Says

Stephen King's 'The Shining' plays on the double meaning - both the supernatural 'shine' ability and the gleaming, polished surface that reflects dark truths.
