Out of fashion

Moot? Mossy

A dynasty of china

Chou (alternate spelling for zhou dynasty)

A kind of fish

Dory this fits, but eel works better for the meta answer.

Similar to bright

Glowy

Using the answers provided by everyone, we get:

MOSSY
ACCENT
GLOWY / GLOSSY
NOSY
IMP
FORTY
INN
CHOU
EEL
NOR
CENT
EMPTY

Picking the first letter of each word, it looks like the secret hint is Magnificence.

And my answer to that would be

Glory

  • $\begingroup$ @Asteria : You are right, moot is not the correct word, there is another word with initial M fit better. $\endgroup$

Augh, looks like @Votbear posted almost an identical answer while I was working on this. (Yes, it took more than an hour..) This answer adds almost nothing to it.

The final answer is most likely

Glory
