Yes, English can be rather confusing at first. Like a lot of words in
the English language, 'Brilliant' has more than one definition.
(Taken from an online dictionary)
1 brilliant
full of light; ****ning intensely; "a brilliant star"; "brilliant
chandeliers"
2 bright, brilliant, vivid
having striking color; "bright greens"; "brilliant tapestries"; "a
bird with vivid plumage"
3 brilliant, glorious, magnificent, splendid
characterized by or attended with brilliance or grandeur; "the
brilliant court life at Versailles"; "a glorious work of art";
"magnificent cathedrals"; "the splendid coronation ceremony"
4 brainy, brilliant, smart as a whip
having or marked by unusual and impressive intelligence; "some men
dislike brainy women"; "a brilliant mind"; "a brilliant solution to the
problem"
5 bright, brilliant
clear and sharp and ringing; "the bright sound of the trumpet
section"; "the brilliant sound of the trumpets"
6 brilliant, superb
of surpassing excellence; "a brilliant performance"; "a superb actor"
