Halo \Ha"lo\, n.; pl. {Halos}(?). [L. halos, acc. halo, Gr. ? a
   thrashing floor, also (from its round shape) the disk of the
   sun or moon, and later a halo round it; cf. Gr. ? to enfold,
   ? to roll round, L. volvere, and E. voluble.]
   1. A luminous circle, usually prismatically colored, round
      the sun or moon, and supposed to be caused by the
      refraction of light through crystals of ice in the
      atmosphere. Connected with halos there are often white
      bands, crosses, or arches, resulting from the same
      atmospheric conditions.

   2. A circle of light; especially, the bright ring represented
      in painting as surrounding the heads of saints and other
      holy persons; a glory; a nimbus.

      of, an object.
