nasai:5746 – Sūwayd > ʿAbdullāh > Shuʿbah > Qatādah > Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab > Innamā Summiyat al-Khamr

"Khamr is so called because it is left until the good parts are gone and the dregs remain." And he disliked everything that was made by using dregs (by adding new materials to the dregs).  

النسائي:٥٧٤٦ – أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَتِ الْخَمْرُ

لأَنَّهَا تُرِكَتْ حَتَّى مَضَى صَفْوُهَا وَبَقِيَ كَدَرُهَا وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ يُنْبَذُ عَلَى عَكَرٍ
