derivation of luciernaga

Question

Does anyone know the derivation of the word luciernaga? Is it a compound word? What would the direct translation be? (other than firefly or glow-worm) Thank you.

Answer 1

It comes from Latin lucerna, lamp, from lux, light (related to influx in English). The ending -aga has an uncertain origin, but it is suspected to be from one of the languages that existed before Latin, and it could be present in other words like zurriaga,
