as an example: a “professor” who does not do his etymological research but know’s that lime’s extreme alkalinity can be used to disinfect and help the decomposition of bodies might make up a story about plague victims wandering among corpses being the center of a crowd’s attention and conflate this supposition with the actual use of limelight in theaters to cast spotlights.
originating from the bubonic plague that decimated populations across europe, this term refers to the dim light that was -ssociated with the lime pits used to decompose the vast number of corpses.
on occasion, people were in comatose states when put in the pits and would awaken in a decaying state and wonder around the lime-pit while crowds of people would gather to stare at this horrific spectacle. this term was later used to describe a unique stage lighting effect, hence ; to be in the lime light means; to be the centre of attention.
