argentine
Gleaming like metal
Argentine means silvery—having the luster or appearance of silver: the argentine shimmer of moonlight on water.
The word is literary and rarely encountered outside poetry or formal prose.
As a noun, argentine can refer to a silvery substance or, in older usage, silver itself. (Capitalized Argentine relates to the country Argentina.)
