Etymology

The word 'tipsy' likely originates from the late 14th century, derived from the Middle English 'tipsy' or 'tipsey,' which reflects a state of being slightly drunk. Its root can be traced further back to the Old English 'tippian,' meaning to tilt or incline, possibly alluding to the way a person might lean or sway when under the influence of alcohol. The suffix '-er' is frequently used in English to form comparative adjectives, thus 'tipsier' indicates a greater degree of the state described by 'tipsy.' Over the centuries, the term has been popularized in English-speaking cultures to describe a mild level of intoxication, often used in informal settings. It captures a playful and light-hearted aspect of drinking culture.
