*** Etymology 2
Perhaps a humorous use of the preceding word, or perhaps from [en][1] (the
sense "liquor" is older than the sense "drinker"). The _Century Dictionary_
wrote that it was "said to be so called from one [en], a once well-known
London brewer", but the _Online Etymology Dictionary_ considers [en] a
humorous extension of _lush_ instead.[2]
