I learned the adjective, Refulgent the other day. quite why we have so many words to describe things, I don't know. not quite as nice as it's synonym, Resplendent but slightly easier to say.

Tautology
Tautology may refer to:
Tautology (rhetoric), using different words to say the same thing, or a series of self-reinforcing statements that cannot be disproved because they depend on the assumption that they are already correct
Tautology (logic), a technical notion in formal logic, universal unconditioned truth, always valid
Tautology (rule of inference), a rule of replacement for logical expressions in some systems of propositional logic
