+ ==Forms==

+ '''vīnolentia''' ''f'' (genitive vīnolentiae); first declension^(Wiktionary)

+ Also spelled ''vīnulentia''.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|vīnolentus|-ia|t1=drunk, given to wine]].^(OLD 2012)^(Bianchi & Lelli 2014) That adjective is one of the derivatives of [[m|la|vīnum|t=wine]],^(de Vaan 2008) which goes back to [[itc-pro|*wīno-]] and [[ine-pro|*ueih₁-(ō)n|t=vine; wine]], an n-stem from the root “to weave, wrap”, so that the vine was “the weaving one”.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler records it first in Cicero,^(Köbler 2010) who uses it in the ''Philippics'' and the ''Tusculan Disputations''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Georges 1913)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ In Classical Latin it is drunkenness as a habit or vice, and the state of being drunk;^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913) Döderlein contrasts it with ''ēbrietās'': ''vīnolentia'' (like the older ''tēmulentia'') presents drinking as brutal excess and loss of memory, ''ēbrietās'' as high spirits.^(Döderlein 1874) The Vulgate has the plural for bouts of drinking,^(Georges 1913) Bede uses it in a list of vices, and Alcuin's work on rhetoric names it with love, anger and grief among the passions that drive people to act.^(DMLBS)
