Madhu
Madhu (Hindustani: मधु or مدهو) is a word used in several Indo-Aryan languages meaning ''honey'' or ''sweet''. It also means ''mead'' and is used for alcohol. The word originates in Sanskrit and has cognates in most Indo-European languages.
==Alcohol and mead==
''Madhu'', and the related terms ''mad'' (मद, مد) and ''madira'' (मदिरा, مدِرا), also mean alcohol. These words are all derived from the Sanskrit language, and are Indo-European cognates of the English ''mead'', Greek ''μέθυ'', Avestan ''madu'', Persian ''may'', Latvian and Lithuanian ''medus'', German ''Met'' and Old Church Slavonic ] ''мєдъ'' (medŭ).
In this sense, these terms are also used for additional words related to alcohol. For instance, ''madhushala'' is a Hindi word for an establishment that serves alcohol, as is ''madiralaya'' (lit. ''abode of alcohol'', c.f. himalaya, ''abode of snow''). ''Madmast'' (मदमस्त, مدمست) means ''intoxicated due to alcohol'', and is a word frequently used in poetry and song in the region, sometimes as a stylized reference to being in an emotional state resembling intoxication for other reasons, such as romantic love.
