One way to hold this word: a mango so ripe that the juice runs down your arm before you have finished the first bite. It is not just that it tastes good; it is thick, sweet and wet, and it makes you want more of it. Everything this word does elsewhere keeps that wanting in it.
From the word’s history
From earlier lushious, lussyouse, generally taken as an alteration of lustious, from lusty in its older sense pleasant, delicious, plus -ous. An alternative account derives it from Middle English lucius, a shortening of delicious.
來自早期拼法 lushious、lussyouse,一般認為是 lustious 變來的,而 lustious 出自 lusty(舊義是「令人愉快的、好吃的」)加 -ous。另一種說法認為它來自中古英語 lucius,是 delicious 削短後的變形。
