I believe the answer was "evenfall", which is defined in Webster's as:

E"ven*fall` , n. Beginning of evening. "At the quiet evenfall." Tennyson.

Hard to see how it can be an Americanism if Tennyson used it.

Sorry. Typing error, meant EVENFALL which I could only find in an American dictionary.
I blame it all on the hot weather or on MPs expenses.

novalis

It is in Chambers and is defined as "early evening, twilight".
