DIMMED Meaning and Definition

1. Dimmed is an adjective that refers to the act of reducing or decreasing the brightness or intensity of a light source. It describes a state in which something, usually a light or lighting system, has had its luminosity or brightness lowered. When a light is dimmed, it emits a softer, less intense glow compared to its normal or maximum brightness setting. This can be achieved either by manually adjusting a dimmer switch or by using a specific lighting control system that allows for the regulation of light output.

   The term "dimmed" can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation or a person that has lost its previous brightness, energy, or vitality. In this sense, it suggests a reduction in the liveliness or impact of something. For example, one might say that the excitement of a party was dimmed after the power went out, or that a once vibrant and passionate individual has become dimmed by the challenges of life.

   Overall, the term "dimmed" is most commonly associated with the regulation of light intensity, but it can also be used more broadly to describe a loss of brightness or a decrease in energy, either literally or figuratively.
