Shining brilliantly; gleaming with magnificent brightness that commands attention and admiration. Splendor that radiates outward in all directions.
From Latin re- (again, intensely) plus splendere (to shine). The Romans took their word for shining and doubled down on it — resplendent means shining so hard it shines twice! It's the superlative of luminosity, brightness with an exclamation point, light that refuses to be ignored.
