Etymology 1
[edit]From lū̆xus (“excess”) + -iēs. Ernout and Meillet suggests that the -ur- suffix (found here before -iēs) can be identified with the "desiderative" suffix -turiō, as seen in ēsuriēs (“hunger”).[1] De Vaan proposes an intermediate adjective *luxuros without elaborating further on its etymology.[2]
