Question

ambient The ambient lighting in the restaurant was low, and there was a bright candle at each table. ˈæmbiənt

Accepted Answer

Existing or present on all sides. Ambient light is the light that fills an area or surrounds something that's being viewed, like a television screen or a painting. Scientists sometimes refer to the ambient temperature, the temperature of the surrounding air. “Ambient music” is the term used today for “atmospheric” background music usually intended for relaxation or meditation. The candlelit restaurant in the example sentence is probably trying for a romantic ambience, or “atmosphere.”
