Of or resembling ivory; ivory-white.
From Latin 'eburneus' (of ivory), from 'ebur' (ivory). Used in poetry to describe skin, teeth, or moonlight with the warm, creamy quality of ivory.
Not just white — IVORY white! Warm and creamy and slightly golden, like piano keys or the moon through thin clouds. Poets used it because 'white' was too boring for what they were seeing! 🌙
