Luster \Lus"ter\, Lustre \Lus"tre\, n. [F. lustre; cf. It.
lustro; both fr. L. lustrare to purify, go about (like the
priests at the lustral sacrifice), traverse, survey,
illuminate, fr. lustrum a purificatory sacrifice; perh. akin
to E. loose. But lustrare to illuminate is perhaps a
different word, and akin to L. lucere to be light or clear,
to shine. See Lucid, and cf. Illustrious, Lustrum.]

sense, to the brightness of things which do not shine
with their own light, or at least do not blaze or glow
with heat. One speaks of the luster of a diamond, or of
silk, or even of the stars, but not often now of the
luster of the sun, a coal of fire, or the like.
