Why in the song appears many-splendored thing instead of much-splendored thing?
Much would refer to a great quantity, something that had to be measured like too much milk. Many refers to a large number, things that can be counted like too many pencils. So since the word many was used these splendored things would consist of items that could be counted. "Splendor" is a noun, meaning "a great brightness." The lyrics of the song might have said, "Love is a very splendorous thing," but the meaning would have been different. One splendor equals one great brightness. The lyricist is not saying that love is one great brightness, but that it contains many great brightnesses. Instead of thinking of a single bright light, such as a bright fire or the sun, you tend to think of a heaven full of bright stars, or maybe a Christmas tree. It adds to the feeling that love can be surprising or mysterious.
