+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed on the stem of [[temetum|alt=tēmētum]] “strong drink” with the suffix [[m|la|-ulentus|t=full of]],^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) on the model of [[vinolentus|alt=vīnolentus]].^(Lewis & Short 1879) De Vaan reconstructs [[itc-pro|*tēmo-|t=intoxication]] from [[ine-pro|*tēmH-|t=intoxication]], perhaps an old root noun, which [[abstemius|alt=abstēmius]] also contains; he compares German [[m|de|dämlich]] and [[m|de|dämisch]].^(de Vaan 2008) Köbler cites Pokorny's root ⟨*tem-⟩ “stunned, dazed”.^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan and Köbler date it from Terence,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) who has a drunken woman.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Novius and Afranius, quoted by Festus, also use it.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is drunk or intoxicated: Cicero writes of a drunken man watching a coming storm, Livy of a drunken column revelling its way through India, and Tacitus says that in Vitellius' camp all was disordered and drunken.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Caelius, quoted by Quintilian, has someone found sunk in drunken sleep.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012) It is used of actions and faculties too, as Cicero's thick and drunken voice.^(OLD 2012) Seneca uses the plural as a noun, the drunk, and Apuleius has hair dripping with ambrosia.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Lewis & Short give ''ēbrius'' and ''vīnōsus'' as synonyms;^(Lewis & Short 1879) Döderlein says that ''vīnolentia'' and the old word ''tēmulentia'' present drunkenness in its disgusting light, as brutal excess and loss of memory.^(Döderlein 1874) Church Latin glosses it drunk.^(Stelten 1995)
