Etymology

The French noun *drogue* comes from the Latin *drugus*, a borrowing from a Germanic root *drōgan* meaning “to drag, pull” (the same source of English *drug*). It entered Old French as *drogue* or *droguerie*, initially referring to a substance used for medicinal or ceremonial purposes. Over time the term broadened to denote any intoxicating or illicit substance, giving rise to the modern meaning of “narcotic” or “drugs.”
