/ˌfɒsfəˈresnt//ˌfɑːsfəˈresnt/"Phosphorescent" comes from the Greek words "phos" (light) and "phoros" (bearer). It was first coined in the late 17th century to describe substances that emit light without heat, like glow-in-the-dark materials. This was initially used to describe the phenomenon of certain organisms like fireflies, but eventually expanded to encompass any material exhibiting similar properties. The term captures the essence of these substances – "light bearers" – highlighting their ability to carry and emit light.
