中文词源


luscious 美味的,性感的

来自lusty,有胃口的,愉悦的,字母t讹误或音变拼作字母c,比较vice,vitiate.词义由美味的引申为性感的,参照dish,dishy(性感的)。俗词源认为该词来自delicious的口语licious,后来拼作luscious.

英文词源


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.
