Etymology

The word "deluxe" originates from the French phrase de luxe, meaning "of luxury." It combines the preposition de ("of") with luxe (from Latin luxus, meaning "excess" or "splendor"). The term entered English in the 19th century to describe high-quality or opulent versions of products, emphasizing superior craftsmanship or extravagance. The morpheme luxe retains its association with lavishness, while de anchors it to a notion of belonging to a premium category.
