Brilliant present ordered with loan acquired (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resplendent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'brilliant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'present ordered with loan acquired' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'loan' could be 'lend' (synonyms) and 'lend' is found within the answer.
an anagram of 'present' is 'respent' which is present in the left over letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resplendent that I've seen before include "Gloriously beautiful" , "Magnificent" , "Glorious" , "Sumptuously impressive" , "Colourfully sumptuous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
