William Safire did an interesting thing on 'limn' in the New York Times Magazine a few months ago stating that the 3rd definition listed above(:describe) has become the most popular and the word has come to be used to mean illuminate or delineate most often.
As in, "I would love to limn all the positive qualities of Jadzia's tits, but it would take all day."
