pitch darkness
Absolute absence of light
Pitch darkness is total or near-total absence of light—darkness so complete you cannot see at all.
The pitch comes from the black, tar-like substance, not from musical pitch.
We stumbled through the pitch darkness of the cave.
The adjective form pitch-dark works the same way: a pitch-dark night.
