Etymology

The word 'lustre' originates from the Latin word 'lustrare,' which means 'to illuminate' or 'to make bright.' This Latin term is derived from 'luceo,' meaning 'to shine' or 'glow.' Over time, 'lustre' made its way into Middle English from the Old French term 'lustre,' which retained similar meanings related to light and brightness. In English, the term has evolved to not only refer to a shine or glow but also has taken on a connotation of beauty and desirability. It is commonly used in the context of various materials, such as metals, fabrics, and even celestial bodies, emphasizing the aesthetic and attractive quality of the shine.
