'luxuriate' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'luxuriari,' where 'luxus' meant 'excess or abundance.'

'luxuriari' transformed into the French word 'luxurier,' and eventually became the modern English word 'luxuriate' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to grow abundantly,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to take great pleasure or delight in something.'
