Lavish describes something very generous, rich, and often expensive, more than what's strictly needed — a lavish wedding, lavish praise, a lavish gift. As a verb, 'to lavish something on someone' means to give it to them and abundantly, like 'she lavished attention on her new puppy.'
奢華的、豐盛的；lavish A on B＝把A大方地給B
組成Probably comes from an old word for a heavy downpour of rain — the idea of something 'pouring out' in huge amounts, which later came to mean giving very generously.
