incandescent
의미: Emitting light as a result of being heated to a high temperature; figuratively, intensely bright or passionate, or extremely angry.
Traditional incandescent light bulbs produce light by heating a filament until it glows white-hot. Though being phased out in favour of energy-efficient alternatives, the word remains in common use. The figurative sense is particularly vivid in British English, where 'incandescent with rage' is a well-established expression meaning absolutely furious. The noun form is 'incandescence.'
