Root Explanation

Refulgence → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "fulgere" (meaning to shine). The word describes a shining or radiance that reflects light, suggesting a brilliance that comes back or is renewed.

Memory Tip

Think of something that shines 'again' ('re-') — that's why refulgence means a bright, shining light.
