roister
Make loud merriment
To roister is to enjoy oneself in a loud, boisterous way—drinking, laughing, carousing.
The word suggests noisy merrymaking, often with an edge of rowdiness: They roistered until dawn.
A roisterer is someone given to such revelry.
The word sounds old-fashioned now, more likely found in historical novels than contemporary speech.
