Evenfall

Noun

[ee-vuhn-fawl]

1. twilight; dusk; the beginning of evening.

Origin: Evenfall, “the beginning of evening, dusk,” from its very look is a poetic word. It is reasonable to assume, but impossible to prove, that evenfall was modeled on the earlier nightfall (1700). Evenfall entered English in the 19th century.

“And now ‘tis evenfall in the brave and beautiful Borderland, and long shadows fall across the smooth lawns and fragrant garden…” - George MacDonald Fraser, The Reavers, 2007
