Italian word

lussureggiante

lush, luxuriant (of vegetation)

Looks like

luxurious / lust

luxurious = very comfortable and expensive; lush = rich green vegetation

⚠️ The trap

'Lussureggiante' specifically means lush/luxuriant vegetation. Don't confuse it with 'lussuoso' (luxurious = opulent, expensive). 'Un giardino lussureggiante' = 'a lush garden' (not a luxurious one — though it may be both).

To say "luxurious = very comfortable and expensive; lush = rich green vegetation" in Italian:

lussureggiante (lush/luxuriant for plants); lussuoso (luxurious for things)

"lussureggiante" in English means:

lush, luxuriant (of vegetation)

Example

"La foresta era lussureggiante e verde."

"The forest was lush and green."
