the ghost of fire, lingering long after the flame has politely excused itself
means Filled with, smelling of, or resembling smoke — or describing a flavor, color, or quality that calls smoke to mind.
from From Old English 'smoca,' meaning smoke, with the '-y' suffix doing its usual job of turning a noun into 'full of that thing.' The root traces back to a Proto-Germanic word (compare German 'Schmauch') and likely a Proto-Indo-European base meaning to smoke or smolder — a cousin, possibly, of Greek 'smykhein,' to burn slowly. So the word is nearly as old as the hearth itself.
