"Wino" is a slang term for a person who habitually drinks cheap wine or is perceived as constantly drunk. It appeared in American English in the early 20th century, likely derived from "wine" with the diminutive suffix "-o" to label someone by their habitual drinking. The term is used in informal, descriptive, or derogatory contexts, often to criticize or mock someone for alcoholism or public drunkenness. It is mildly derogatory, context-dependent, and generally informal rather than highly offensive.
