Etymology: "Caroused" is the past tense of "carouse," which entered English in the 1530s from German "gar aus," meaning "all out," as in the drinking toast "gar aus trinken," to empty the cup completely. The verb's sense of drinking to the last drop later widened into the noisy, sociable revelry it describes today.
