lôbrego

== Portuguese == === Etymology === Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese lobrego, possibly from Latin lūbricus (“slippery, slimy”). Perhaps influenced by lūgubris (“gloomy, mournful”). Doublet of lúbrico. Cognate with Spanish lóbrego. An alternative theory derives the term directly from lūgubris, with metathesis; in which case the doublet would be lúgubre. === Pronunciation === Hyphenation: lô‧bre‧go === Adjective === lôbrego (feminine lôbrega, masculine plural lôbregos, feminine plural lôbregas) lugubrious (gloomy) Synonym: lúgubre === References === === Further reading === “lôbrego”, in Dicionário Aulete Digital (in Portuguese), Rio de Janeiro: Lexikon Editora Digital, 2008–2026 “lôbrego”, in Dicionário Eletrônico Houaiss [Houaiss Electronic Dictionary] (in Portuguese), São Paulo: UOL, 2004–2026 “lôbrego”, in Michaelis Dicionário Brasileiro da Língua Portuguesa (in Portuguese), São Paulo: Editora Melhoramentos, 2015–2026, →ISBN “lôbrego”, in Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa (in Portuguese), Lisbon: Priberam, 2008–2026
