пиꙗница

Old Church Slavonic

пиꙗница

Etymology

пиꙗнъ (pijanŭ) +‎ -ица (-ica), ultimately from пити (piti).

Noun

пиꙗница • (pijanica) m

1. drunkard
   • from the Homily against the Bogumils, 1338-1341:

     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.
