Etymology
From Early Modern English lushious: (--Spenser), lussyouse: (--Palsgrave) "luscious, richly sweet, delicious", of uncertain origin. Believed to be a corruption of earlier *undefined: from, due to the spelling. Shakespeare uses both lush (short for lushious) and lusty in the selfsame sense: 'How lush: and lusty: the grass looks'. --Temp. ii. I.52.

Alternative etymology connects luscious to a term: lucius:, an alteration of licious:, believed to be a shortening of delicious:. See.
