Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *slewbʰ-? Proto-Indo-European *slubʰ-ró- Proto-Italic *slouβr(e/o)kos? Latin lūbricus? Spanish lóbrego Possibly from Latin lūbricus (“slippery, slimy”). Perhaps influenced by lūgubris (“gloomy, mournful”). Doublet of lúbrico. Cognate with Portuguese lôbrego and Asturian llóbregu. An alternative theory derives the term directly from lūgubris, with metathesis; in which case the doublet would be lúgubre.
