potus.
drink/draught; something to drink; (action of) drinking (intoxicating drink);
Meaning & usage
drunk (intoxicated)
Where this word comes from
Ultimately from the root Proto-Indo-European *peh₃-. De Vaan reconstructs Proto-Italic *pōtos (“drunk”) from Proto-Indo-European *ph₃tós (“(having been) drunk; having drunk”) with replacement of expected *-a- by *-ō- under the influence of the root aorist *péh₃t. Possibly cognate with Umbrian punes, which could come from a pre-form *pō-ni-. Aside from its use as an adjective, pōtus also functions synchronically in Latin as an anomalously formed perfect passive participle of the verb pōtō (“to drink”), competing with the regularly formed pōtātus.
drunk, having been drunk
drained, having been drained
