Etymology
'luxuriously-made' is a compound word formed from 'luxuriously' and 'made.' 'Luxuriously' comes from 'luxury,' which originates from Latin, specifically the word 'luxuria,' meaning 'excess' or 'extravagance.' 'Made' is the past participle of 'make,' which comes from Old English 'macian.'
'luxuria' in Latin became 'luxury' in English, and 'make' from Old English 'macian' became 'made.' The adverb 'luxuriously' was formed from 'luxury,' and the compound 'luxuriously-made' is a modern English formation.
Initially, 'luxuria' meant 'excess' or 'extravagance,' and 'make' meant 'to create.' Over time, 'luxuriously-made' came to mean 'created in a luxurious manner.'
