The origin of phraseology
“Souls are not to be drunk” - phraseologism, which has long been just a phrase, an expression without any lasting meaning. This phrase was once formed by two words: the verb "tea" and the noun "soul". The verb “tea” was often used before, but then became obsolete. It was formed from the verb "chati" that has not been preserved to our time, which used to be close in meaning to today "believe, think, count, expect, hope." A few centuries ago, the verb "chayat" was colloquial, in the works it was used only by commoners, beggars, peasants.
