中文詞源
luscious 美味的，性感的來自lusty，有胃口的，愉悅的，字母t訛誤或音變拚作字母c,比較vice,vitiate.詞義由美味的引申為性感的，參照dish,dishy(性感的)。俗詞源認為該詞來自delicious的口語licious,後來拚作luscious.
英文詞源
- luscious (adj.)
- late 15c., perhaps a variant (with form perhaps influenced by Old French luxure, lusure) of Middle English licius "delicious" (c. 1400), which is perhaps a shortening of delicious, but OED is against this. Related: Lusciously; lusciousness.
