Origin:
The word "radiant" has its roots in the Latin verb "rādĭāre," which means "to shine" or "to beam." This verb is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *rādi-, which also appears in other Indo-European languages, such as Ancient Greek "radien" (to shine or glitter) and Sanskrit "rādhi" (to be happy or contented).
The word "radiant" entered the English language in the early 15th century and has been used since then to describe things that emit or reflect light or heat, as well as to describe people or things that are full of joy, happiness, or confidence.
