Etymology
The word 'tipsy' originates from the late 15th century, stemming from the Middle English word 'tipse,' which is related to the verb 'tip.' This verb referred to the act of tilting or spilling, especially in the context of beverages. As drinking cultures evolved, 'tipsy' began to describe a person who had consumed alcohol to the point of feeling light-headed but not fully intoxicated. The superlative form 'tipsiest' emerged as the language developed, emphasizing the highest degree of mild drunkenness. Over time, the term has maintained its playful and sociable connotations, becoming popular in informal settings and social gatherings.
