The word "refulgently" is derived from the adjective "refulgent", which comes from the Latin word "refulgēns", the present participle of "refulgēre". "Refulgēre" is a combination of "re-" (meaning "again" or "intensively") and "fulgēre" (meaning "to shine" or "to flash"). Therefore, "refulgently" is formed by adding the suffix "-ly" to "refulgent", indicating how someone or something shines or radiates brightly.
