Mesonoxian: of, relating to, or occurring at midnight.
It comes from the Greek mesonýktion, built from meso- (middle) and nyx (night). Simple, precise, and almost entirely forgotten.
What it offers is exactness. NotĀ late, notĀ the dead of nightābut specifically midnight: the pivot between one day and the next.
A mesonoxian thought is one that only visits you then.
A mesonoxian quiet is the one that settles over a city at that unrepeatable hour.
Use it. The word has been waiting in the dark long enough.
