Saturnalian is an adjective that means marked by unrestrained revelry.
Our word of the day comes from Latin and means ‘related to Saturn.’ Saturn was the Roman god known as a source of renewal and liberation. The ancient Roman festival of Saturn was used as a period of merrymaking. Here’s an example of Saturnalian in use:
All the Saturnalian regalia outside my house made it difficult to sleep last night. Why can’t my neighbors be sensible and have chaotic fun early in the morning like everybody else?
