Etymology 2

In sense 1, from lustra (“brothel, place of debauchery”) +‎ -ō (noun-forming suffix) (compare lustror (“to frequent brothels”)).^[1] Sense 2 is possibly a reinterpretation based on the alternative sense of lustra (“wilds, woods, forest”) or influenced by the etymologically unrelated verb lūstrō (“wander over, traverse, roam”) (see above).
