First off I hope that this is the correct place to post such a request apologies if not.

I am looking for a nine-letter adjective, derived from Latin meaning 'shining back', it is also a literary term meaning 'shining brilliantly'.

The best I could come up with is refulgent. However, I don't think this is a literary term.

Any ideas folks ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Sally, welcome to the site :)

I found "refulgent" here:
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=refulgent&searchmode=none
9 letter synonyms /adj. for it could be brilliant or effulgent.
Is this for a crossword?
