英语词汇booze的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

booze. Mr. E. G. or E. S. Booze of either Philadelphia or Ken- tucky, circa 1840, was a distiller who sold his booze under his own name, the bottles often made in the shape of log cabins. But booze probably has its roots in the Middle English verb bousen, “to drink deeply,” which comes from an earlier German word. However, the English use booze only for beer and ale and there is no doubt that the labels on our Mr. Booze’s bottles in- fluenced the American use of the word for hard liquor and strengthened its general use. Today booze most often signifies cheap, even rotgut whiskey.
