the.com/debauchery
Pleasure taken past its expiration date, on purpose, with witnesses.
means Excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures — drink, sex, food — pursued to a degree that corrupts or degrades.
from Comes from French débauche, from the verb débaucher, meaning to lure someone away from their duty or work. The root is tied to Old French bauche, meaning a workshop or beam — so to 'de-bauche' someone was literally to pull them off the job site. The word drifted from 'quitting your work' to 'quitting your morals,' until it settled into meaning a life abandoned to pleasure.
