Depends on who's dictionary you read but apparently it might be the origin
of the saying "burning the midnight oil"


From: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lucubrate

lu•cu•brate
  (ˈlu kyʊˌbreɪt)

v.i.  -brat•ed, -brat•ing.
1.  to work, write, or study laboriously, esp. at night.

2.  to write learnedly.

[1615–25; < Latin lūcubrātus, past participle of lūcubrāre to work by 
artificial light]
