Etymology of AHOLICS

The term "aholic" is a colloquial expression that originated as a suffix added to other words to imply a dependence or obsession with a particular behavior or item. This "aholic" suffix is an adaptation of the word "alcoholic", which specifically refers to a person addicted to alcohol. The word "alcoholic" itself comes from the medieval Latin word "alcoholicus", which originated from the Arabic word "al-kuḥl", meaning "the essence" or "spirit".
