If 'marikit' is exquisite beauty, 'marilag' is magnificent beauty. It’s grand, splendid, and majestic. It’s the kind of beauty that inspires national anthems (the line 'may dilag ang tula' in Lupang Hinirang comes from the same root). Marilag is beauty that commands respect, like a perfect Mayon Volcano view or a queen in her full regalia.
ma- (adjectival prefix) + dilag (splendor, magnificent beauty)
Highly formal and poetic, similar to 'marikit' but often implying a grander or more majestic scale of beauty.
