Morphology

libidinous = libido (transparent) = libidin + ous

Formed by the noun 'libido' (sexual desire) plus the adjective-forming suffix '-ous'; meaning 'having sexual desire' is directly derived.

Etymology

Libidinous comes from the Latin word libidō, which means 'desire' or 'lust', and is the same root as the English libido. So, libidinous describes someone showing strong sexual desire.
