Morphology

fulgurance = fulgur + ance

Formed from a Latin/French combining form 'fulgur-' plus the nominalizing suffix '-ance'; the root is not a standalone English word and the composition is not transparent to typical learners.

Etymology

Fulgurance comes from the Latin root fulgur, which means 'lightning' or 'a quick bright flash', so you can imagine a sudden, dazzling light; that's why fulgurance means brilliant radiance or a dazzling display of talent.
