Can anyone explain as simply as they can what exactly Taru-adjectives are? When I read Japanese novels sometimes I happen to stumble upon weird adjectives, looking them up in the dictionnary sometimes tell me they're "Taru-adjectives". I looked myself online but all explanations dive into the complex side of things. I'd appreciate it if someone can give a thorough and simple explanation at the same time, if possible.

Older category of adjectives, many converted into na-adjs but plenty still in use.

Connects to nouns with たる or more modernly, with a form of とする, among other constructions with と(する) like for adverbial use or at end of sentence.
