Origin:
The word "luster" originated from the Latin word "lūstrum," which referred to a purification ceremony or festival involving washing and cleansing.
Over time, the term came to be associated with the polished and shiny surfaces that were often associated with ceremonial objects or objects of value. By the Middle English period, "lustre" had evolved to mean a general quality of brightness and shine.
In modern usage, the word "luster" continues to refer to a lustrous finish on a surface, as well as a broader sense of brilliance, radiance, or success.
