Word of the day November 10
The Word of the Day for November 10 is:
fulgent • \FULL-jint\ • (adjective) dazzlingly bright; radiant A little more information about today’s word: "The weary Sun betook himself to rest; -- / Then issued Vesper from the fulgent west." That's how the appearance of the evening star in the glowing western sky at sunset looked to 19th-century poet William Wordsworth. "Fulgent" was a particularly apt choice to describe the radiant light of the sky at sunset. The word derives from the Latin verb "fulgere," meaning "to shine," a root which is itself akin to the Latin "flagrare," meaning "to burn." English speakers have been using "fulgent" to depict resplendence since at least the 15th century. My sentence: "If you haven't seen the fall foliage of New England in all its fulgent glory, you are missing something extraordinary." -- Colman Andrews, Los Angeles Times, September 13, 1998 Based on Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, 10th Edition.
