Libidinous describes a person, a look, or a piece of writing that is full of sexual desire. It is a describing word, not the desire itself. The word for the desire is libido. This is a formal, word; older doctors and writers use it. In ordinary talk people say sexy, or full of desire, or (very informal) horny. Libidinous often sounds critical, as if the desire is too much or not polite. It comes from Latin libīdinōsus, from the same root as libido. Though actually students sometimes treat it as a calm science word; in English it can feel heavy and a bit dirty, so be careful who you say it about. It has nothing to do with liberty, library, or Liberia, even though the first letters look the same.
好色的;充滿性慾的(偏書面,語氣偏重)
組成From Latin libīdinōsus, from libīdō, “lust, desire.”
