The word "roysterous" is derived from the Middle English word "roistren". The etymology of "roistren" can be traced back to the Middle Dutch word "ruysteren" which means "to make a noise" or "to cause a disturbance". It eventually evolved into the Middle English word "roist" which means "to revel" or "to make merry". Over time, the "roist" evolved further into "royster" and then "roisterous", with the addition of the suffix "-ous" meaning "full of" or "characterized by". Thus, "roisterous" refers to someone or something that is boisterous, rowdy, or lively.
