Etymology

The word 'carouse' dates back to the early 16th century, first appearing in the English language as a variation of the Middle Dutch word 'kaarauzen', which means to drink excessively or to engage in drunken revelry. The term originally referred to a drinking party or the act of toasting to someone's health while consuming large amounts of alcohol. Over the centuries, the meaning evolved to encompass not only the act of drinking but also the associated festivities and joviality that accompany such gatherings. 'Carouse' has deep roots in Western European traditions of celebration, where communal feasting and drinking have long been integral to social bonding. This historical aspect of carousing reflects its transformation from a simple act of drinking to a broader cultural practice of joy and merriment.
