dawning

/ˈdɔnɪŋ/ noun

The first beginnings of something.

Word Origin From Proto-Germanic *dagaz 'day' — dawn is the beginning of day, and dawning is the process of day breaking. The same root gives us day, daily, today, yesterday, daylight, and even daisy (day's eye, because it opens at dawn). The PIE root *dʰegʷʰ- 'to burn, warm' also gives us fever and day.
