The term "moonshine" for illicitly distilled liquor likely arose in the Appalachian region of the United States during the 19th century. Its origin lies in the secretive nature of the operation, often conducted under the cover of darkness, aided by moonlight. The word itself is a combination of "moon" and "shine," emphasizing the nocturnal nature of the activity. The association with moonshine solidified during the Prohibition era, when it became synonymous with illegal alcohol production.
