Refulgent (adj)

A good ol' Latin like word to know if you're studying for a test or going through a traditional school system which cares more about old, dead, unchangeable words that no one uses than the language people speak today.

Know your history: Refulgent. From fulgere - to shine. It is a good descriptor for any writer, especially those in archaic genre's like fantasy.

Synonyms to narrow down your use: resplendent, gleaming, radiant, lustrous, reflecting a brilliant light, shining. Like a diamond in the rough, she was refulgent.
