lascivious
含义: Feeling or revealing an overt sexual desire in a way considered crude or offensive. Describes behaviour, looks, or remarks that are lewdly lustful.
Lascivious is a formal and disapproving term, often found in legal, literary, and journalistic contexts. It describes a quality more intense than 'suggestive' but more articulate than 'lewd.' In law, 'lascivious conduct' has specific legal weight in indecency cases. The word collocates with 'gaze,' 'behaviour,' 'intent,' and 'remarks.' The adverb 'lasciviously' and noun 'lasciviousness' are also current.
