'daylit' originates from the English word 'daylight', where 'day' meant 'the period of light between sunrise and sunset' and 'light' meant 'the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible'.

'daylight' transformed into the adjective 'daylit' to describe something illuminated by daylight.

Initially, 'daylight' referred to the light of day, but 'daylit' evolved to specifically describe spaces or objects illuminated by this light.
