gloaming
English
Etymology
From a dialectal variant of glooming, from Middle English *gloming, from Old English gl?mung, from Old English gl?m (“twilight”); synchronically gloom +? -ing. Related to glow.
The OED notes: "The vowel of the modern gloaming is anomalous, as Old English gl?mung should normally become glooming. The explanation is probably that the ? was shortened in the compound ?fen-glommung (as the spelling seems to show was actually the case), and that from this compound there was evolved a new subject gl?mung, which by normal phonetic development became Middle English gl?ming, modern English gloaming."
