Etymology

Éclatant (used as a noun in very rare or poetic contexts) is a nominalization of the adjective éclatant, which itself comes from the Old French verb éclater “to burst, to explode”. This verb descends from Latin exclātus, the past participle of exclāre “to shout, to burst out”, and the noun éclat, meaning brilliance or splendor, emerged in the 14th century by turning the verb into a substantive before the adjective form was coined in the 18th century.
