Word origin

The word 'buzzed' originated from the late Middle English word 'bussen', which meant to make a low, continuous humming sound. Over time, it came to be used colloquially to describe the feeling of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The association with the sound of bees buzzing may have contributed to this usage.
