effulgent

[ih-fuhl-juhnt]

adjective:

radiant or shining

Explanation

Something effulgent shines brilliantly, whether it's a sunset or a glowing lamp. The word can also be used figuratively to describe things like bright ideas. From a Latin term meaning "to shine," effulgent practically radiates light and cheer.

Example: The effulgent sun peeked over the horizon, casting a brilliant glow across the morning sky.
