Definition
Flashing like lightning; brilliantly shining or glittering in a sudden manner.
Etymology
From Latin fulgurant- (present participle of fulgurāre 'to flash like lightning'), derived from fulgur 'lightning.' The -ant suffix derives from the Latin present participle ending -ans, -antis. This word emphasizes active flashing or sparkling rather than static brightness.
Kelly Says
Fulgurant is perfect for describing something actively flashing—like a diamond catching light as it moves, or lightning itself. The -ant suffix suggests ongoing action, so fulgurant means 'actively flashing' while fulgid means 'being bright.'
