Etymology
1. Etymology tree
2. Latin lūbricus?
3. Old Galician-Portuguese lobrego
4. Portuguese lôbrego
5. Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese lobrego, possibly from Latin lūbricus (“slippery, slimy”). Perhaps influenced by lūgubris (“gloomy, mournful”). Doublet of lúbrico. Cognate with Spanish lóbrego.
6. An alternative theory derives the term directly from lūgubris, with metathesis; in which case the doublet would be lúgubre. See: Spanish Adjectives '
lóbrego'.
