Origin of 'lustier'

The word 'lustier' is derived from the Middle English term 'lusty', which initially embodied the sense of being robust or full of life. 'Lusty' itself comes from the Old Norse word 'lust', meaning desire or pleasure, and can be traced even further back to the Proto-Germanic word 'lustwล', which signifies pleasure or desire. Over time, the meaning of lust evolved to closely associate it with sexual desire and passion. Therefore, 'lustier' emerged as a comparative form to describe an increased state of sexual enthusiasm or physical vitality. This evolution highlights the cultural connection between vitality, passion, and sexuality in language.
