Where does “resplendent” come from?
I appreciate the detailed instructions, but I need to flag an issue: the etymology chain provided doesn't match the headword. The chain traces "splendish" from Latin roots, but the headword is "resplendent," which has the prefix "re-" that isn't accounted for in your chain. Could you clarify whether: 1.

Once confirmed, I'll write the one-sentence summary following your rules exactly.
