    [Noun]  | "lu*mi*nes*cence" | \ ˌlü-mə-ˈne-sᵊn(t)s \


    1: the low-temperature emission of light (as by a chemical or physiological process); also : light produced by luminescence


    Origin: 1889 ;

     Borrowed from German Luminescenz (now Lumineszenz), from Latin lūmin-, lūmen "light, source of light" + German -escenz (in Phosphorescenz {see: |phosphorescence|phosphorescence} and Fluorescenz {see: |fluorescence|fluorescence}) {mat|lumen|} ;

      * Note : The term was introduced by the German physicist Eilhard Wiedemann (1852-1928) in "Ueber Fluorescenz und Phosphorescenz I. Abhandlung," Annalen der Physik und Chemie, Neue Folge, Band 34 (1888), p. 447.;
