qroqqa Not a variant of 'lechery', but of 'lecherous', to be pedantic. Different suffixes. (Apparently a variant in Northern French, where the [k] > [tʃ] change did not take place.) The Romance word is borrowed from a Germanic one, cognate with 'lick'; not related to Latin lux- "extravagance, debauchery". Mar 26, 2009
fbharjo another spelling of lechery: associated with the Latin 'luxus' meaning 'excessive eating or drinking': also the root of 'luxury' Mar 26, 2009
