Origin of 'partied'

The word 'party' originates from the Old French 'partie', which means 'a part, division, or share'. It was derived from the Latin word 'partita', the feminine form of 'partitus', the past participle of 'partire', meaning 'to divide'. The term began to be used in the English language around the late 14th century, originally referring to a group of people who have come together for a common purpose. Over the centuries, the meaning evolved to refer specifically to social gatherings and celebrations. By the 19th century, 'partying' took on a more recreational connotation, associated with enjoyment, festivities, and socializing, reflecting cultural shifts towards more informal and enjoyable social settings.
