'alcoholize' originates from 'alcohol', specifically the word 'al-kuḥl', where 'al-' meant 'the' and 'kuḥl' meant 'kohl'.

'al-kuḥl' transformed into the French word 'alcool', and eventually became the modern English word 'alcohol' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'a fine powder used as eyeliner', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a volatile flammable liquid'.
