Cosplendour

/koʊˈsplɛndər/ noun

Definition

British spelling variant of cosplendor; shared brightness, radiance, or magnificence.

Etymology

From co- + splendour (British English spelling of splendor, from Latin splendor). The -our ending follows British spelling conventions.

Kelly Says

The British -our ending (like 'honour' and 'colour') actually comes from Norman French influence after 1066, and this archaic word preserves that historical spelling variation.
