Etymology

The word 'liquored' is derived from the noun 'liquor', which comes from the Latin 'liquorem' meaning 'liquid' or 'fluid'. It originally referred to any liquid substance, but over time, it became associated primarily with alcoholic beverages. The process of fermentation and distillation led to the development of drinks that have alcoholic content, and thus the noun 'liquor' began to indicate these types of liquids specifically. The transition to the adjective 'liquored' likely traces back to the 19th century, when the slang usage in vernacular English started to reflect the social and cultural practices surrounding the consumption of alcohol. It captures a state reflected in both social settings (such as bars and parties) and the legal discourse surrounding alcohol consumption, which has evolved alongside changing social norms regarding drinking.
