Etymology
'luxuriously' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'luxuria,' where 'luxus' meant 'excess' or 'splendor.' 'Decorated' comes from Latin 'decorare,' meaning 'to adorn.'
'luxuria' transformed into the Old French word 'luxurie,' and eventually became the modern English word 'luxury.' 'Decorare' evolved into the Old French 'decorer,' leading to the modern English 'decorate.'
Initially, 'luxuria' meant 'excessive growth,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'splendor' or 'opulence.'
