Slightly drunk; in a state of mild intoxication where someone's speech, balance, or judgment is noticeably affected but not completely impaired.
Where the word comes from
Tipsy likely comes from the verb "tip," meaning to overturn or tilt. The suffix "-sy" (or "-y") creates an adjective suggesting a state or tendency.

The word emerged in English around the 18th century as a playful, informal term for mild intoxication.
