This could be a double definition.

'glowing' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'bloody euphemistically' is the second definition.
'ruddy' can be an answer for 'bloody' (ruddy is a version of the swearword 'bloody'). I am not certain of the 'euphemistically' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ruddy that I've seen before include "Reddish; -- duck" , "Dratted" , "Damned - healthy" , "Rosy" , "Healthy reddish complexion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
