Where it comes from

Learned borrowing from Old English ǣfenglōm, as the term began being used soon after the publication of Early England and the Saxon-English in 1869, where the word is first listed in this form. By surface analysis, even + glome (“gloom”).

noun even-glome

rare, uncountable Twilight; dusk; crepusculum. They are like men who have lived always in broad day—who have never seen evenglome or moonlight.
