Where this word comes from
From the root of lūgeō (“mourn, lament”) via Proto-Italic *lougosris or *leugosris, built on a neuter s-stem noun *lougos/*leugos with change of sr→br (compare muliebris, fūnebris). Sen 2015 identifies the ending as the suffix *-lis, making the original formation *leug-os-lis, with subsequent dissimilation of l...l to l...r. An alternative theory derives it from *lūge-blis, with the same dissimilation.
