Origin
The word "refulgence" is derived from the Latin word refulgēns, which means "shining back" or "shining brightly." It is a present participle of the verb refulgēre, which means "to shine back" or "to reflect light." The word "refulgēns" is formed from the prefix re- (meaning "back") and the verb fulgēre (meaning "to shine").
The Proto-Indo-European root *bʰerǵʰ- ("to shine") is also found in other words such as "brilliant," "fulgor," and "fulgent."
