'alcoholized' originates from the verb 'alcoholize,' which is derived from 'alcohol,' a word that comes from the Arabic 'al-kuḥl,' meaning 'the kohl.'

'al-kuḥl' transformed into the Medieval Latin 'alcohol,' and eventually became the modern English word 'alcohol.'

Initially, 'alcohol' referred to a fine powder used in cosmetics, but over time it evolved to mean the intoxicating substance in drinks.
