Root Explanation

Luculent → It is formed from "lucere" (meaning to shine) and the suffix "-ulent" (meaning full of). The word "luculent" means full of light or clarity, often used to describe something that is clear or easily understood.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'shines' ('lucere') and is 'full of' ('-ulent') clarity — that's why luculent means clear or easily understood.
