Etymology

The word 'splendour' originates from the Latin word 'splendor,' which means 'brightness' or 'luster.' It is derived from the verb 'splendere,' meaning 'to shine.' The Latin term evolved through Old French before entering Middle English as 'splendour' in the 14th century. Over time, the English rendition of the word retained the essence of shining brightness, associating it with the idea of magnificence and grandeur. The concept of splendour has been prevalent in literature and art, often reflecting the beauty and brilliance of royal courts, nature's wonders, and historical monuments.
