Luculent is rarely used, but I think it deserves to be revived. It would be a lovely way to describe someone’s writing, if you were so inclined.
Luculent means ‘clear in expression’ or ‘brightly shining’.
Its origin is thought to be 15th century; in Middle English it meant ‘shiny’. The word stems from the Latin word luculentus meaning ‘full of light’.

Such a beautiful word, really! Is it pronounced with a hard or soft ‘c’, do you know?

I couldn’t agree more! And I believe it is pronounced loo-kue-lent (/ˈluːkjʊl(ə)nt/).
