+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[inh|itc-pro|*folg-e/o-|t=to shine]], [[inh|ine-pro|*bʰl̥g-e/o-|t=to shine]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary) Cognate with [[grc|φλέγω|tr=phlégō|t=to burn]], [[grc|φλόξ|tr=phlóx|t=flame]] and [[txb|pälketär|t=burns]], and perhaps [[sa|भर्गस्|tr=bhárgas|t=radiance]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012) De Vaan takes the third-conjugation [[m|la|fulgere]] as the older form, like [[m|la|fervere]] beside [[ferveō]], though the attestations do not settle it.^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012) [[fulgur]] “lightning” and [[fulmen]] “thunderbolt”, from *fulgmen, are from the same verb, and [[flagrō]] “to blaze” from the same root.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates the third-conjugation form from Pacuvius and ''fulgēre'' from Lucilius.^(de Vaan 2008) Köbler dates Pacuvius 220–130 BC.^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It meant to shine brightly, flash, glitter, as the morning star near the moon in Pomponius, and impersonally ''fulget'' “it lightens”, of Jupiter and the sky.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016) Of white or bright things it meant to be resplendent, as Lucilius' trousers and cloaks, and figuratively to shine, be conspicuous, as Nepos' young Eumenes in whom the nature of virtue already shone.^(OLD 2012) Döderlein says it denotes a glaring light or dazzling fiery colour, as against the soft light of [[lūceō]].^(Döderlein 1874)

+

+ Its derivatives include [[fulgor]] “brightness”, and [[effulgeō]] “to shine forth”.^(de Vaan 2008)
