词汇 carouse
词源

carouse v.

"to drink freely and revel noisily," 1550s, from French carousser "drink, quaff, swill," from German gar aus "quite out," from gar austrinken; trink garaus "to drink up entirely." Kluge says it was originally the German exclamation accompanying closing time (Polizeistunde). From this it was generalized to "the end," especially in the phrase Den Garaus machen. The first element is from Old High German garo "ready, prepared, complete" (see gear (n.)); for the second element, see out (adv.). Frequently also as an adverb in early English usage (to drink carouse).
