Luster (gcide) | 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.]

The scorching sun was mounted high,
In all its luster, to the noonday sky. --Addison.
[1913 Webster]
Note: There is a tendency to limit the use of luster, in this
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.
