The [[origin]] of "liquor" and its close relative "[[liquid]]" was the Latin verb liquere, [[meaning]] "to be fluid." According to the [[Oxford English Dictionary]], an early use of the [[word]] in the [[English]] language, meaning simply "a liquid," can be dated to 1225. The first use that the OED mentions in [[reference]] to a "liquid for drinking" occurred in the early- to mid-1300s. Its use as a term for “an intoxicating alcoholic drink” appeared in the 16th century.
