<p>[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3940634, member: 88829"]Sorry, but no. The English word "carouse" was derived in the 16th century from the German expression "<i>gar aus trinken" </i>which was specifically a reference to heavy drinking. The late Germanic origin makes it highly unlikely that any Latin word forms lay beneath or behind it. Then again, do we know if Carausius was a lover of the suds?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
