Etymology of copasetic
It is said that the word copasetic originated in Chicago during the prohibition, which happens to be the time and place of my grandfather's birth, but that's beside the point for now. As the dictionary points out, the word is "of obscure origin". With this in mind and given its definition, it seems likely that the soul who created the word had a liver full of bathtub gin and a flask of sarcasm. For anyone who enjoys a glass of wine over dinner, the prohibition was anything but "fine; completely satisfactory; OK".
