  • De Vaan reconstructs the stem vowel as short, despite noting that this would be difficult to explain as the word meets the conditions for Lachmann's law to apply. In contrast, Bennett marks it long, appealing to Romance descendants,[1] although Bennett also gives luxus as an example of a word where it is difficult to decide whether the forms encountered in Romance are popular or learned.[2]

Etymology 1 edit

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewg- (“bend, twist”) (whence also luctor (“wrestle”)). De Vaan reconstructs Proto-Indo-European *lug-so-s and Proto-Italic *luksos and assumes an absence of Lachmann's lengthening.[3] Cognate with Sanskrit रुग्ण (rugṇá, “bent, broken”), Ancient Greek λύγος (lúgos, “twig, withe”) and λοξός (loxós, “slanting, crosswise”), Lithuanian lugnas, Old Norse lykna.
