Meaning:
When the light of day first appears (definition).
Example:
The stars begin to disappear at the crack of dawn. (Examples.)
Origins:
Old English, “crack” means “moment”, thus “moment of dawn.” (Sources.)
Rewrites:
at the smack of dawn at break of day as light of day peeps as the sun wakens as night calls it a day
Discussion:
This one was harder to rewrite than I thought it would be. What other metaphors have you created?
