Irised refers to something that exhibits the iridescence, which is a phenomenon where surfaces appear to change color as the angle of view or angle of illumination changes. This can often be seen in natural objects like peacock feathers and soap bubbles. The term can also apply to artificial materials designed to reflect light in a rainbow of colors. In a more poetic sense, it can describe something that brings to mind the beauty of a rainbow.

Etymology

The word 'irised' is derived from the word 'iris', which has its origins in the Greek word 'iris', meaning 'rainbow'. The term has evolved over time to describe the visual phenomenon associated with the display of varied colors as light interacts with surfaces. The use of 'iris' in English can be traced back to the 14th century as a reference to the color range seen in natural elements and phenomena. The concept of iridescence has been observed in nature for centuries, attributed to various structures that reflect light in unique ways. As the study of optics progressed, the term 'irised' came to encompass both natural and artificially created objects that exhibit similar properties.
