flickering
This term describes a rapid, unstable oscillation of light or emotion. When applied to light, it suggests a fragile or failing source, such as a dying candle or a faulty electrical circuit, often evoking a sense of instability or impending darkness.
In a psychological or emotional sense, it describes a feeling that is barely present or intermittently returning. It is frequently paired with words like hope, interest, or recognition to indicate that the emotion is weak and could easily vanish, contrasting with steady or enduring states.
