luxury != luxury goods
- dredmorbius 4y agoEtymology informs. It is not definition, but does show sense evolution. That said, this etymology tends to support your position, given that at the heart of luxury is the sense of self-indulgence. Which would seem to apply to the non-essential nature of See's Candies. Regardless, I wasn't arguing for or against your view, only providing what seems to be an interesting datapoint. Cheers.
