Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Originating in the late 14th century as 'lusk', meaning lazy or slow, from Old French 'lusc' (weak, sluggish), possibly from Latin 'luscus' (blind in one eye). By the 16th century, the meaning shifted to describe luxuriant vegetation and succulent plants, eventually giving rise to informal slang for an excessive drinker in the 19th century.
