Bibber

/ˈbɪbər/

शराबी; मद्यपायी; नशे में अधिक/अक्सर शराब पीने वाला व्यक्ति

Origin & History

From the Latin phrase 'bibere' (“to drink”); English 'bibber' developed as a noun meaning 'one who drinks'.

यह शब्द लैटिन 'bibere' (अर्थ: 'पीना') से आया; अंग्रेज़ी में 'bibber' संज्ञा के रूप में विकसित होकर 'पीने वाला (विशेषकर अधिक शराब पीने वाला)' अर्थ में प्रयुक्त हुआ।

Definition

A bibber is someone who frequently drinks alcohol, often more than is considered moderate; the word is somewhat old-fashioned and mildly disapproving.

'Bibber' वह व्यक्ति है जो बार-बार या ज़रूरत से ज़्यादा शराब पीता है; यह शब्द थोड़ा पुराना और हल्का-सा निंदात्मक माना जाता है।
