Etymology
It has been formed as a suffix since the beginning of the 20th century from ru опрокидо́н, with simplification from ru опрокидо́нт, from ru опроки́дывать опроки́д(ывать) + grc -ων. It is first found in the works of Nikolai Leskov, Anton Chekhov and Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin. In the future, words also appear related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages, for example, ru выпиво́н and ru закусо́н.
