Etymology: "Glowings" is the plural of "glowing," used as a noun for instances of warm radiant light. The base word traces back to Old English "glōwan," meaning to shine with heat or light, which is related to "glōwe," an ember or live coal. The plural form points to the word being used for separate patches or bursts of that light, rather than a single uniform radiance.
