Word origin
The word 'drunken' originated in the late Middle English period, derived from the Old English word 'druncen', which was the past participle of 'drinkan' meaning 'to drink'. The evolution of the word over time reflects the association between excessive alcohol consumption and loss of control or appearance. 'Drunken' is a common adjective used to describe someone affected by alcohol, either in terms of behavior or appearance.
