Definitions

  1. Gas used in bright signs, or a very bright color.

Word origin

Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek νέον (néon), neuter of νέος (néos, “new”), from earlier *νέϝος (*néwos), from Proto-Hellenic *newos, from Proto-Indo-European *néwos. By surface analysis, neo- + -on (suffix used in all noble gases).

Used in a sentence

  • Bring a song and a smile for the banjo Better get while the getting's good Hitch a ride to the end of the highway Where the neons turn to wood
  • Neons and LED lighting can be controlled by remotes.
