Meaning "to come to a soft rest upon," the term "alight" can be helpfully used in contemporary English. One example-sentence for it is as follows: "If ever a butterfly should alight upon your arm, don't wipe it away, for this is a sign of good luck!"
The homograph of "alight" is "alight." In one sense, "alight" means to descend from a vehicle or to come down upon something. In another sense, "alight" means to be illuminated, especially with light.
The opposite of "alight" is "extinguish" when referring to fire or light, as "alight" means to be on fire or illuminated. In a broader sense, "alight" can also imply descending or landing, in which case its opposite could be "ascend" or "take off." The specific antonym depends on the context in which "alight" is used.
