Morphology

lustful = lust (transparent) = lust + ful

Standard adjective formation: 'lust' + '-ful' means 'full of lust', a direct and predictable derivation for learners.

Etymology

Lustful comes from the old English word lust, which meant 'strong desire' or 'pleasure', and the ending -ful, which means 'full of'. So lustful means 'full of desire', and today we usually use it to mean strong sexual desire.
