waninglike
Waninglike is a term used to describe the appearance of a celestial body, such as the Moon, that is in the process of waning, or decreasing in illumination. The term is often used in astronomy and astrology to refer to the phase of the Moon when it is decreasing in size and brightness, moving from a full moon to a new moon. This phase is characterized by the Moon's illuminated portion becoming smaller each night, until it reaches the new moon phase, where it is not visible from Earth. The term "waninglike" is not a standard astronomical term, but rather a descriptive phrase used to convey the appearance of a waning celestial body. It is important to note that the term "waninglike" is not used in scientific literature, and its use may vary depending on the context and the speaker's intended meaning.
