小知识
Lavish means “generous and extravagant” as an adjective and “to give generously” as a verb. If you don't like it when people lavish you with attention, you might appreciate a lavish spread of excellent food instead.
Lavish comes from the Old French lavache meaning “deluge, torrent,” referring to rain. When you see it, think of a shower of good things coming down on you as you never use lavish with something bad. Didn't your parents lavish you with praise and love when you were small? With lavish as an adjective, you can rephrase that question like this: Didn't your parents offer you lavish praise and love when you were little?

词源词缀
来自拉丁语lavare，冲洗，涌出，词源同lava，dilute，antediluvian，-ish，形容词后缀。即大量涌出的，大量的。-lav-洗+-ish动词词尾→花钱如流水=lavish（丰富的），abundant（丰富的），affluent（富足的）。三个词都有“丰富”之义，细比较之，三者的词根分别是lav“冲洗”，und“流动”和flu“流动”，也都有水的运动之义。汉语有“花钱如流水”，形容钱之多，与之异曲同工。lav是“冲洗”，比“流动”激烈，所以是“过分丰富的”。
