I had the not-so-good habit of deriving the meaning of words from their
context. I would find sometimes years later that I didn't have the correct
meaning. smile
I just googled efulgent and found that it didn't mean at all what I thought it
did.I had no idea what lambent meant. a lovely word and meaning. I loved the
example of use. smile

Hi all,
I love being able to look up the occasional word. Taylor Caldwell is one of
those writers who uses big words naturally, as if she figures her readers will
know what on earth she's talking about! I had to resort to the dictionary for
"efulgent" Anybody heard of efulgent? I also looked up "Lambent", any takers
on that one? I better retake the SAT's I could probably get a better score now
after fourty years. <smiling>
