Where it comes from

Borrowed from Latin lūteus.

adjective more luteous · most luteous

literary Yellowish. And men wept sorely,—for his voice had smoothed / Life’s whirlpool, with its softly-echoing tones, / Filling their hearts with peace—but his glad soul / Flung off her luteous chains, and winged her way / Far, far above the pigmy lamentations / Or frivolous praise of men.
Of or pertaining to mud.
