The term "chatoyant" is wielded in literature to evoke a dynamic, shifting brilliance that can describe both the natural world and human features. In some passages, it emphasizes the gleaming, almost otherworldly quality of eyes—suggesting an inner light or restless energy, as seen in depictions of individuals whose eyes absorb starlight or exude innocent mischief [1, 2]. Elsewhere, the word conveys the radiant, lustrous appearance of materials, be it the sumptuous silk of a river described as a burst of reflective color or the finely cut stone that dazzles upon closer inspection [3, 4]. Additionally, its use to illustrate destiny and tone imbues scenes with a rich, enchanting quality that imbues settings and characters with a vivid, almost magical intensity [5, 6, 7]. The term even finds its place among associated descriptors, further expanding its literary milieu and symbolic significance [8].
