OriginMid 16th century: from Latin bacchanalis, from the name of the god Bacchus. This word comes from Bacchus (in Greek Bakkhos), the god of wine. The association with the Bacchanalia, the Roman festival in honour of the god, with its renowned free-flowing wine and licentious behaviour, gave the sense ‘drunken revelry or orgy’.
