A tower or other structure containing a bright light to warn or guide ships at sea; any prominent light used for navigation; metaphorically, something that provides guidance or serves as a beacon.
Origin
From light (Old English lēoht) + house (Old English hūs — a building, a dwelling). A lighthouse is literally a house of light. The compound has been in English since the early 17th century, replacing earlier terms such as pharos (from the Pharos of Alexandria) and beacon. The Pharos of Alexandria, built around 280 BCE, was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
