Shining forth brilliantly; radiant with a light that seems to pour out from within. Describes a luminosity that's almost divine in its intensity.
From Latin effulgere — ex (out) plus fulgere (to shine). The Romans crafted this word to capture light that doesn't just illuminate but seems to flow outward like liquid gold. It shares DNA with 'refulgent' and gave birth to the rare gem 'fulguration' — a flash of lightning.
