Etymology
The term 'doper' emerged in American English around the early-to-mid 20th century, derived from the verb 'to dope.' Originally, 'dope' referred to a thick or viscous preparation or sauce, particularly in relation to drugs. Its earliest usage was linked to narcotics and substances intended for the enhancement of performance, especially in sports. As drug culture began to take root in the mid-20th century, the term evolved to describe not only those who used such substances for sports but also those who were considered habitual drug users. The transition from a technical term to a slang derogatory term reflects the societal attitudes towards drug use, especially in the context of athletic competition and the negative implications surrounding it.
