英语词汇lugubrious的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	lugubrious
词源	lugubrious [E17th] Writers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries had a passion for coining new words from Latin or Greek to augment what they felt was an inadequate vocabulary. The majority of these words quickly died out, but lugubrious, formed from Latin lugubris ‘mournful, mourning’ is one that survived.
