Word of the day November 10 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

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.
