喜樂美語
  1. 1健壯的；精力旺盛的（不是「好色的」）

    A lusty person or sound is strong, healthy, and full of life. You might hear it of a loud baby’s cry, a hearty , or an old man who still climbs the with energy. It is a slightly old-fashioned, warm word — more at home in stories than in a doctor’s notes. People also stretch it toward sexual energy (a lusty lover), because later English pulled lust toward desire; but the sense a meets first is , not “full of lust.” In Middle English lusty meant pleasant and delightful, when lust was still close to pleasure and zest. Sister words in Dutch and German still mean cheerful or funny, which shows how far the English meaning has travelled.

組成中古英語 lusty（愉快的、可喜的），相當於 lust + -y。當時的 lust 較接近「喜樂、興致」，不只是情慾。
