Morphology
fulgent = fulg + ent
The root 'fulg' is a non‑productive combining form (not a standalone English word) so learners cannot derive the meaning from familiar English components; only the suffix '-ent' is recognizable.
Etymology
Fulgent comes from the Latin fulgere, which means 'to shine'. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine a sudden bright flash or 'full of light', so fulgent means 'shining brightly'.
