Etymology
The word 'revel' originates from Middle English and can be traced back to the Old French term 'reveler,' meaning 'to frolic' or 'to take great pleasure.' It has roots in the Latin word 'rebellare,' which means 'to rise again or revolt.' Over time, 'revel' has evolved in meaning to refer more specifically to engaging in festivities and celebrations. The association with indulgence and carefree enjoyment connects to earlier meanings that emphasized joy and pleasure. Since its introduction into the English language, the word has maintained its connections to merrymaking and joyous gatherings, often evoking images of parties and celebratory events.
