Morphology
lubricious = lubricate (transparent) = lubric + ious
Formed by adding '-ious' to the slippery-related base (represented by 'lubricate'), so the adjectival meaning 'slippery' follows directly.
Etymology
Lubricious comes from the old Latin word lubricus, which means 'slippery', and it shares the same root as lubricate and everyday lube. So, it describes something smooth or oily that makes things slide.
