💠 Resplendent 💠
🤔 Did you know?
Resplendent has a lot in common with splendid (meaning, among other things, "shining" or "brilliant"), splendent ("shining" or "glossy"), and splendor ("brightness" or "luster").
Each of these glowing terms gets its shine from the Latin verb splendēre ("to shine").
In the case of resplendent, the prefix re- added to splendēre, formed the Latin resplendēre, meaning "to shine back."
Splendent, splendor, and resplendent were first used in English during the 15th century, but splendid didn't light up our language until over 175 years later; its earliest known use dates from the early 1600s.

💠 Chiliad 🆚 millennium
What's the difference between a chiliad and a millennium?
Not much: both words refer to a period of 1000 years. While millennium is more widely used, chiliad is actually older, first appearing in the late 1500s (millennium didn’t make its way into written English until the following century).
Not surprisingly, both words trace back to roots that mean thousand. Millennium comes from the Latin mille, and chiliad is a descendent of the Greek chilioi.
