Hi,
Could anyone help me with the term "irised open" in the following sentence?
Thank you very much.
We made it to the ship in about five minutes; there was a minute or two of docking negotiations as a shuttle bay door irised open, accepted the shuttle, and closed again.
I check out the dictionary and only know that irised is something about rainbow, so I really can't figure out what it means in the aforementioned context.
