dewy
Beaded with droplets
Dewy describes something covered with or resembling dew—the moisture that forms on surfaces overnight.
Dewy grass sparkled in the morning light.
The word extends to anything fresh, moist, and glistening: dewy skin, dewy eyes.
Dewy-eyed suggests innocent trust or naïve optimism: a dewy-eyed idealist.
