What does AGLOW mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Glowing with light, warmth or color, or, figuratively, flushed with strong emotion such as pride, excitement or happiness.
A sky aglow with sunset colors or a room aglow with candlelight describes a soft, radiant light spreading evenly rather than a single bright point, giving the word a gentler feel than blazing or dazzling. Writers extend aglow just as readily to faces and feelings, so a child might be aglow with excitement before a birthday, the figurative sense borrowing the warmth of literal light to suggest visible happiness or pride. The word always follows the thing it describes, appearing after a noun such as face aglow or landscape aglow, rather than directly before it in the way glowing usually can. Because aglow leans toward the poetic and descriptive, it appears more often in fiction, travel writing and description than in plain factual prose.
How AGLOW is used
Common in descriptive and literary writing, both for a soft, radiant light and, figuratively, for a face or person flushed with happiness or excitement.
