Etymology
From Middle French pluvieux, from Old French pluviex (13th c.), from Latin pluviōsus. The regular descendant of this is Old French plujos, which would have yielded modern *plugeux; compare Catalan plujós. By analogy with pluie, there was also a byform pluios (Middle French pluyeux), in which /v/ may have been inserted after plovoir; compare the Middle French variants plouvieux, pleuvieux. However, the form may also be of learned origin and was, at any rate, reinforced by its Latinate shape. See: Latin Adjectives '
pluviōsus', Catalan Adjectives '
plujós'.
