Coruscate
To “coruscate” (KOR-uh-skate) – from the Latin for “to move quickly” – is to sparkle, to give off or reflect bright beams or flashes of light.
Example (as used by Bill Roorbach in The Atlantic): “They pulled up at the farthest end of a loop path that looked out over the great basin of the Rio Grande under brilliant, coruscating stars.”
