Q. undómë n. “twilight, time near evening” (Category: Dusk)
A word for “twilight” used of the time near evening (LotR/1111). Since it followed the light, Tolkien said this was the “sad twilight”, an image or sign of the passing of beautiful things (NM/279). Its second element is ✶dōmē (NM/279), and its first element might be un(du) “down” referring to sunset; hat-tip to Parmandil for this suggestion.
