Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

From Middle High German affe, from Old High German affo, from Proto-West Germanic *apō, from Proto-Germanic *apô.
The sense of drunkenness has been traced to the late 18ᵗʰ century, allegedly playing on the homophony of Czech opice (“monkey or ape”) and opít se (“to get drunk”), though the image of a monkey being a possessing demon is translingual, and thus Spanish mona (“she-ape”) also means drunkenness, Spanish mono (“he-ape”) withdrawal symptoms, English monkey a substance (typically, a recreational drug) addiction.
