Etymology
"Băut" is the past participle of the verb "a bea", to drink, which descends from Latin "bibere". Like many Romance descendants of "bibere", it kept the double role of forming compound past tenses and standing alone as an adjective for someone who has drunk too much. Romanian shares this verb root with its sister languages, though each shaped the participle differently.
