Nguồn gốc từ

From Late Middle English lūminārī, lūminārīe (lamp; source of spiritual light, example of holiness; glory), borrowed from Old French luminarie (lamp, lights, lighting; candles; brightness, illumination), variant of luminaire (light fixture) (modern luminaire), from lūminārium, from lūmināre, from lūmen (light; brightness) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewk- (bright; to shine)) + -āris.
