* " a drinking party or convivial discussion, esp. as held in ancient Greece after a banquet (and notable as the title of a work by Plato)" Origin: late 16th cent. (denoting a drinking party) via Latin from Greek...
-- from the Oxford American Dictionaries. It's true that it's now the second definition, but the Greeks were first and it was their word.
