lavishness词源英文解释

Adjective Middle English laves, lavage "extravagant, wasteful," from attributive use of lavas, lavesse "excess, prodigality" (though attested later), probably borrowed from Middle French lavasse, lavache "torrential rain, downpour," from laver "to wash" (going back to Latin lavāre) + -asse, -ache, augmentative and depreciative suffix, going back to Latin -ācea, feminine of -āceus -aceous — more at lye Note: The word lavasse/lavache is well-attested in northern dialects of French (see Französisches etymologisches Wörterbuch), and in Middle French is found in the work of authors with a definite northern connection (Jean Wauquelin, Jean Molinet—see Dictionnaire du Moyen Français). Presumably it is from this milieu that the word was passed into English in the fifteenth century. Evidence for it in Anglo-French is apparently lacking. Verb derivative of lavish >entry 1, perhaps by construal of -ish (as in admonish, astonish) as a causative verbal suffix

The first known use of lavish was in the 15th century
