I thought that I had an alternative solution. Then I noticed that it is slightly misspelled. But I still feel it is close enough that it can be posted.
Prefix
"lu" is what comes after "a" in aluminum
Infix
xor is another logical operator
Suffix
"y" as "why"
When said aloud, the combination sounds like
luxury
which is pleasing to those who have it.

Prefix
"lu" is what comes after "a" in aluminum
Infix
xor is another logical operator
Suffix
"y" as "why"
When said aloud, the combination sounds like
luxury
which is pleasing to those who have it.
