Surface Forms

sozzled positive

Morphology

sozzled = sozzle (opaque) = sozzle + ed

The suffix '-ed' marks an adjectival/past-participle form, but the root 'sozzle' is rare and dialectal, so typical learners cannot derive 'very drunk' from the components.

Etymology

Sozzled probably comes from the word souse, which means 'to soak' and is like the common word soak, so you can imagine someone 'soaked' in drink. So, sozzled means very drunk.
