glimmering

/ˈɡɫɪmɝɪŋ/ verb

present participle and gerund of glimmer

Word Origin Glimmering comes from a Proto-Germanic word for 'brightness, gleam,' and ultimately from PIE *ǵʰel- 'to shine, glow.' That same ancient root gives us gold, yellow, and gleam — all things that shimmer. A glimmering light is a faint, unsteady shine, like the first hint of dawn.
