Definition of dimness

dimnessnoun

sự mờ mịt

/ˈdɪmnəs//ˈdɪmnəs/

"Dimness" originates from the Old English word "dim," meaning "dark," "dull," or "obscure." This word itself is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "*dimmaz," which had similar meanings. The suffix "-ness" was added to "dim" to create a noun describing the state of being dim. Over time, "dimness" has evolved to encompass not only physical darkness but also metaphorical senses of obscurity, lack of clarity, and reduced intensity.
