lugubrious
Y
[loo-goo-bree-uhs, -gyoo-]
D
–adjective
mournful, dismal, or gloomy, esp. in an affected, exaggerated, or unrelieved manner: lugubrious songs of lost love.
C
lugubrious (adj.), lugubriety, lugubriosity, lugubriousness (nn.)
The adjective lugubrious means "mournful, gloomy, especially affectedly, exaggeratedly so."
Functional shift and various suffixes have provided English with the three nouns: lugubriousness and lugubriosity are more frequently encountered; lugubriety may be a nonce (臨時的) word.
The ponderousness (冗長無味) of each nicely matches the self-conscious gloom of its exaggerated meaning.
