More Etymology!

Hi!

Well, after the posting on query for the etymology of the word "Ocean",
how about another? I've been curious about the origin of the word
"Coruscant" (as in the planet from Star Wars), which is said to come
from the Latin word "coruscans", meaning "sparkling, glittering,
flashing, etc." But where does _that_ come from? Any hypotheses at all?

.
