"lustrum" meaning in Latin

See lustrum in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Per De Vaan (2008), from Proto-Indo-European *l(H)u-(s)tro- (“dirty place”), from Proto-Indo-European *le(H)w- (the same root as lutum (“mud, dirt, clay”)) + *-trom (see -trum), compare lūstrum, flū̆stra and mōnstrum. Valpy (1828) proposed instead a borrowing, with change of *d to /l/, from Ancient Greek *δύστρον (*dústron), from δύω (dúō, “to plunge”).
