What is Lutescent? Definition, Examples, and Usage

Lutescent means glowing or emitting light, typically with a soft, diffused, or pale light. It can be used to describe objects or materials that emit a soft, luminescent light, such as certain minerals or glow-in-the-dark substances.

For example, "The lutescent crystals in the gemstone glowed softly in the dark" or "The lutescent paint on the walls of the room gave off a warm, diffused light."

Lutescent is not a commonly used word, and it is often used in more formal or technical contexts, such as in scientific or literary writing. It is derived from the Latin word "lux," meaning light, and the suffix "-scent," meaning tending to or characterized by.
