Root Explanation

Resplendency → It is formed from "re-" (meaning again) and "splendere" (meaning to shine). The word describes a state of shining brightly or radiantly, as if shining again with brilliance.

Memory Tip

Think of something that shines 'again' ('re-') and 'brightly' ('splendere') — that's why resplendency means a brilliant shine.
