Morphology
lustrous = lustre (transparent) = lustre + ous
The adjective is a regular derivation from the noun 'lustre' with the productive suffix '-ous', so the meaning 'having sheen or brilliance' follows directly.
Etymology
Lustrous comes from the same root as luster and the old Latin word lustrare, which means 'to make bright' or 'shine'. So lustrous describes a smooth, glowing surface that catches the light, like pearls or glossy pottery.
