dazzling beauty; radiant loveliness
A literary, somewhat archaic term describing strikingly beautiful and glamorous appearance, often of a woman. Rare in modern conversation; more common in classical or poetic contexts.
Her dazzling figure was just like a painting.
In her youth, that actress captivated the world with her radiant beauty.
Compound of 艶 (gloss, charm) and 麗 (lovely, beautiful). The exact historical derivation is uncertain; it is a literary Sino-Japanese word.
