What sober means

Free from the effects of alcohol or drugs, or serious and thoughtful in manner or appearance.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *sobre*, derived from Latin *sobrius*, meaning "not drunk" or "temperate."

The word entered Middle English and gradually expanded beyond drunkenness to mean serious, thoughtful, or restrained in general behavior and appearance.
