sunshinen.adj. Origin: A word inherited from Germanic. Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old Frisian sunnanskīn , Middle Low German sunnenschīn , Middle Dutch sonneschijn (Dutch zonneschijn ), Middle High German sunnenschīn , sunneschīn (German Sonnenschein ) < the Germanic base of sun n.1 + a nominal derivative of the Germanic base of shine v. (compare shine n.1 and the Germanic nouns cited at that entry).Not attested in the literal sense in Old English. It is unclear whether sense A. 1 shows an extended use of the unattested literal sense of the compound or a separate similative formation, i.e. ‘something that shines like the sun’ (compare sense A. 4); (the simplex Old English scīn is itself attested only in the extended sense ‘spectre’: see devilshine n.). The β. forms apparently show alteration of the second element after sheen n.1 A. n.the world > physical sensation > sight and vision > optical instruments > mirror > [noun] eOE Cleopatra Gloss. in J.
