What language did the word luxury first come from?

The word "luxury" originates from Latin, specifically from the word "luxuria".

"Luxuria" referred to excess, extravagance, and abundance, often associated with indulgence and pleasure. It's interesting to note that the word itself has a negative connotation in its Latin origins, implying an excessive or even immoral pursuit of pleasure.

Over time, the word transitioned into English and evolved to encompass the modern meaning of luxury, which is often associated with high quality, comfort, and exclusivity.
