Dazzling or stunning in effect. ETYMOLOGY: French, from present participle of foudroyer, to strike with lightning (Honest count: who knew this one before reading this? Not I! ) What a wonderful compliment! "My dear, you look positively foudroyant in that dress tonight." Perhaps some more words that deserve to be added to our vocabulary of compliment?
