    [Adjective]  | "lav*ish" | \ ˈla-vish \


    1: expending or bestowing profusely : prodigal

    2: expended or produced in abundance

    3: marked by profusion or excess

    Origin: 15th century ;

     Middle English laves, lavage "extravagant, wasteful," from attributive use of lavas, lavesse "excess, prodigality" (though attested later), probably borrowed from Middle French lavasse, lavache "torrential rain, downpour," from laver "to wash" (going back to Latin lavāre) + -asse, -ache, augmentative and depreciative suffix, going back to Latin -ācea, feminine of -āceus {see: |-aceous|-aceous} ;

      * Note : The word lavasse/lavache is well-attested in northern dialects of French (see: Französisches etymologisches Wörterbuch), and in Middle French is found in the work of authors with a definite northern connection (Jean Wauquelin, Jean Molinet—see: Dictionnaire du Moyen Français). Presumably it is from this milieu that the word was passed into English in the fifteenth century. Evidence for it in Anglo-French is apparently lacking.;
