Etymology
пиꙗнъ(pijanŭ) + -ица(-ica), ultimately from пити(piti).
пиꙗница бо смѣхоу ѥстъ несъмꙑсльнꙑимъ, плачоу же мѫдрꙑимъ, оумъ бо и съмꙑслъ данꙑи ѥмоу богомь погоублꙗѥтъ, и самовольствомь скотъ неразоумьнъ въ чловѣка мѣсто бꙑваѥтъ.
pijanica bo směxu jestŭ nesŭmyslĭnyimŭ, plaču že mǫdryimŭ, umŭ bo i sŭmyslŭ danyi jemu bogomĭ pogubljajetŭ, i samovolĭstvomĭ skotŭ nerazumĭnŭ vŭ člověka město byvajetŭ.
a drunkard makes fools laugh and wise men weep, for he loses the intelligence and reason which are God’s gifts to him, and of his own free will turns himself into a brute beast instead of a man.
