Etymology
Strălucitor is built from the Romanian verb a străluci, meaning to shine brightly. That verb combines the intensifying prefix stră- with luci, a root tied to Latin lucere, to shine. The suffix -tor, an agentive ending, turns the verb into an adjective meaning shining or that which shines.
