Meanings

1. 1
   adj

   illuminated by the light of a fire

   The family sat quietly in the firelit room as snow gathered outside.

Formed from fire + lit, the past participle of light. The compound follows older adjectives such as sunlit and moonlit: the first element names the source of illumination, and lit means 'lighted.' It is chiefly a descriptive literary word.
