Sadly, this is a very sorrowful article. I feel lugubrious today.
Lugubrious means exaggeratedly or affectedly mournful.
It says it is from both Latin and Greek, because it is from a Latin word, which is "akin" to a word in Greek. Curious. Strange.
Lugubrious is possibly an antonym for ludicrous. Also from a Latin word, akin to a Greek word.
Ludicrous means laughable, amusing through obvious absurdity or exaggeration.
It would be ludicrous to be lugubrious about spilt milk.
