Etymology 2

edit

In sense 1, from lustra (brothel, place of debauchery) +‎ (noun-forming suffix) (compare lustror (to frequent brothels)).[1] Sense 2 is possibly a reinterpretation based on the alternative sense of lustra (wilds, woods, forest) or influenced by the etymologically unrelated verb lūstrō (wander over, traverse, roam) (see above).

Noun

  1. frequenter of brothels/places of ill repute[1][2]
