Word origin

The word 'luster' originates from the Latin word 'lustrare,' which means to illuminate or to shine. The earliest uses of the term can be traced back to the Middle English word 'lustre,' which referred to brightness or a sheen, especially associated with precious materials and beautiful surfaces. As language evolved, 'luster' became more commonly associated with the visual appeal and reflective quality of surfaces, often in the context of art and aesthetics. The comparative form 'lusterier' likely emerged from the need to describe relative qualities of shine or brilliance when comparing multiple objects or surfaces.
