Word origin

The word 'inebriate' originated from the Latin word 'inebriatus', which means 'to make drunk'. It has been used in English since the 15th century to describe the state of being intoxicated or habitually drunk. Over the years, it has come to represent both the act of becoming drunk and a person who is frequently intoxicated.
