- 1放蕩的；荒淫的；生活不檢點的
Dissolute describes a way of living that many people call : too much drink, sex with many people, little self-control. It is a strong, old, formal word. You will meet it in books and in talk about history or scandal, not much in casual speech. It is harsher than “likes to party.” It paints the whole life, not one wild weekend. Next to dissipated, dissolute leans more on morals (this life is loose, ); dissipated leans more on waste (this life is poured away on pleasure). Older writers pile them together without fuss. You would not call a teenager dissolute for one loud night — the word wants a pattern.
組成From Middle English dissolute, from Latin dissolutus. Same family as dissolve: literally “loosened” — here, loosened from moral self-control.
