Ebrious

/ˈɛbriəs/ adjective

Definition

Drunk; intoxicated; inclined to or characterized by drunkenness.

Etymology

From Latin 'ebrius' (drunk), directly adopted into English. The word appears in literary and formal contexts, often used as an alternative to 'inebriated' or 'intoxicated.'

Kelly Says

This is the direct English descendant of the Latin word Roman poets used—when you say 'ebrious,' you're using the exact same word Ovid would have used 2,000 years ago.
