Etymology
The word 'revel' originates from the Middle English 'revelen', which itself comes from the Old French 'reveiller', meaning 'to wake up'. This is connected to 'reveil', which refers to a party or celebration. The transformation into its current form reflects a shift towards the idea of enjoyment and indulgence in festivities. The term has been used since the late Middle Ages and has retained its meaning of engaging in lively enjoyment. Over time, 'revel' and its variants have appeared in literature and poetry, often to describe moments of jubilation and carefree happiness.
