Word of the Day: Coruscate

April 16, 2009 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

autumn-leaves

. . . . .

coruscate \KOR-uh-skayt\, intransitive verb:

1. To give off or reflect bright beams or flashes of light; to sparkle.
2. To exhibit brilliant, sparkling technique or style.

. . . . .

This word always makes me smile, so I thought I’d share.

A friend told me recently about a novel she’d read which described people as stained glass windows, with a light shining out from within them.  Such a wonderful image! May your internal light coruscate brightly today and bring joy and good cheer to those around you!

    i’llt trade you a coruscate for an obfuscate. then we’ll end up back at boredom again.

    Obfuscate doesn’t make me as happy as coruscate. And you of all people should know – I’m hardly ever bored! :)

    Wish I had, but I’m not that good! This was a photo from the public sample photos that came with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, Dave. Nice to see you! :)
