CEFR C2
coruscate
Translation
きらめく / 閃光を放つ / 輝く
Meaning
Coruscate means to flash, sparkle, or give off sudden bright points of light. It is a literary or learned verb, much rarer than sparkle or glitter. The trap is using it as a general synonym for shine in plain writing.
Examples
- 湖面は朝の光を受けてきらめいていました。
The lake coruscated in the morning light. - シャンデリアが舞踏室の上でまばゆく輝いていました。
The chandeliers coruscated above the ballroom.
