German[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Back-formed from the plural Spirituosen which was borrowed from Medieval Latin spīrituōsa (“spirits”), substantivized neuter plural of spīrituōsus, from spīritus. The shift from neuter to feminine gender occurred because the morph -en is characteristic for feminine plural rather than neuter.
