Meaning & usage
thawing of (the uppermost layer of) snow or ice in sunlight (though the air temperature is still below zero)
Where this word comes from
Probably from Old Norse *dagsmegin, from dagr and megin (whence also Swedish mägen), but spelling with -g- is attested only once (in 1528), and is not supported by sound changes in the Norwegian cognates. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk dagsmeie, dialectal Danish dagmeden and Danicized Norwegian dagmejning. Probably same ending as in dialectal Norwegian Nynorsk gardsmeie (“heat from farm buildings”), solmeie (“sun halo”) and møye (“sun or moon halo”).
