coruscation

coruscation
Noun
pl: coruscations

This term carries a high-register, literary tone and is rarely encountered in casual conversation. It describes a quality of brilliance that is intermittent rather than steady, evoking an image of shimmering or flashing light. When used to describe light, it suggests a sudden, vivid intensity that captures attention.

In a figurative sense, the word describes bursts of intellectual brilliance or wit. It implies that the genius is not necessarily constant, but appears in striking, isolated flashes. This makes it a more precise choice than "brilliance" when the speaker wants to emphasize the sporadic or surprising nature of a person's insight.
