phos·pho·res·centПроизношение
Этимология
[ -s&nt ] (adjective.) 1766. From phosphorus + -escent. It's interesting to note that technically phosphorus is not phosphorescent. Phosphorus is luminescent, it gives off light from a chemical reaction, as opposed to re-emission of absorbed energy (phosphorescence).
