Etymology
The term 'souse' originated in the late Middle English period, derived from the Old French word 'sos' meaning 'sauce'. Initially used to refer to a pickling solution, it later evolved to also describe a drunkard or habitual drinker in slang. The verb form 'souse' emerged from the noun, signifying the action of drenching or soaking in a liquid.
