Etymology
1. Attested since 1370. Uncertain etymology. Perhaps from Latin lūstrō (“to purify; to illuminate”) from Latin lūstrum (“sacrifice”); or rather, given the stressed vowel /o/, from Proto-Celtic *lowkstriko-, from Proto-Celtic *lowko- (“bright, light”): compare Welsh lluched (“lightning”) and North Catalan llaucet. Alternatively, deverbal from lostregar, and this irregularly from Latin *lūstricare.
2. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewk- (“to shine”). See: Latin Nouns '
lūstrō', Latin Nouns '
lūstrum', Catalan Nouns '
llaucet', Latin Nouns '
*lūstricare'.
