Etymology

The term 'drogger' likely evolved from the word 'drug,' which has Old French origins, originating from the word 'droguer,' meaning to dry or to preserve. In modern English, 'drug' refers to any substance that brings about a physiological change in the body. The suffix '-er' denotes a person who engages in a specific action or activity. Hence, 'drogger' signifies a person involved in drug use. The term has become particularly popular in the late 20th century as drug use and addiction have gained attention in society. Its usage in slang often reflects a negative connotation associated with the impacts of drug abuse, highlighting the struggles of individuals who fall into the cycle of addiction.
