Boring, I know. Don't give me any shit.... Just look at all the words it came from. Isn't that cool? Melancholy and cholera!

gloaming (GLO-ming) noun

Twilight; dusk.

[From Middle English gloming, from Old English glomung, from glom (dusk).
Ultimately from Indo-European root ghel- (to shine) that is also the
source of words such as yellow, gold, glimmer, glimpse, glass, arsenic,
melancholy and cholera.]
