Artyom's notebook entry: Apr 13, 2011
Recently, I found one very interesting phrase. It's "to be luxuriate in (smth)", having the same meaning as "to enjoy (smth)". Please, tell me, does "to be luxuriate in (smth)" really mean "to enjoy (smth)"? Or do I err? When and how often is "to be luxuriate in (smth)" used? Please, explain me, who can :)

Luxuriate is the same root as luxury. It indicates enjoying something that is rich, expensive, decadent. For example, someone can enjoy a hot bath, but luxuriate in a large whirlpool spa bath.

I wouldn't use it. I would say it is far more common for people to say he/she revels in (something). Saying someone "enjoys" something is the way to go 99/100 times.
