intoxicative

/ɪntˈɑksɪkətˌɪv/ adj

Relating to, or causing intoxication

Word Origin Intoxicative comes from intoxicate, which traces to Latin 'intoxicare' — 'to poison,' from in- 'in' and toxicum 'poison.' Toxicum itself comes from Greek 'toxon' meaning 'bow,' because arrows were tipped with poison. So intoxicative literally means 'putting poison in.' The root gives us toxic, toxin, detox, and toxicology.
