UBRIACO
Drunk
DEFINITION Who is in a state of acute alcoholism; Drunk
OFFICIAL ETYMOLOGY
from Latin: ebriacus drunk. Composed of ebrius, of uncertain etymology, but certainly opposed to sobrius sobrio, and from the suffix, -acum found also in unmixed meracum, from pure merum (wine).
The above etymology, although it says of uncertain etymology, is completely wrong.
Origin of words:
ebprius> e bri us> e pir us> i pir (us)
1) pi/drink
2) i pir(e)/ drunk
"Us" is the ending that always understands the verb "to be" in the third person singular is=osht-asht-isht-usht.
The root of the word is the Albanian verb *pi/drink and the adjective *i pir(e)/drunk.
Albanian dictionary: píre (i, e) adjective; also as a noun; drunk, gives way to drinking. pír/ë,-a (e) feminine noun; plural; -a(t) (the)
