Etymology of PINK ELEPHANTSES

The word "pink elephants" originates from the English language. It is a figurative term used to describe hallucinations, often associated with drunkenness or delirium tremens. It gained popularity through the phrase "seeing pink elephants", which has been used in literature, music, and various forms of popular culture.

The term's etymology can be traced to the early 20th century, specifically to the jazz age. It is believed to have emerged from a combination of two elements:

1. Pink: The color pink has long been associated with sensory distortion or hallucinations. This connection may stem from the fact that intoxication or excessive alcohol consumption can disrupt visual perception, leading to the perception of colors appearing differently or even illusions.

2. Elephants: Elephants are large, majestic creatures that have historically been linked to strength and power.
