Debacchate

/dɪˈbækət/ verb

Definition

To revel wildly or conduct oneself like a reveler; to engage in unrestrained celebration or drunken behavior.

Etymology

From Latin 'debacchārī,' formed from 'de-' (down, out) and 'bacchārī' (to revel, from Bacchus, the Roman god of wine). The word literally means to go wild like followers of Bacchus.

Kelly Says

Bacchus was the Roman party god, and his name became the root for words about wild celebration—that's why 'bacchanal' parties are legendary, and 'debacchate' captures that chaotic, wine-soaked energy.
