Definition
光光 is the reduplicated form of 光, intensifying the meaning. It describes a surface that is completely smooth and shiny, or a state of being entirely bare, empty, or stripped (e.g., money spent up, body naked). As an adverb it can mean 'merely' or 'just', but the single character 光 is more common for that sense.
