Etymology
The term 'druggy' originates from the word 'drug,' which is derived from the Old French word 'drogue' and the Middle Dutch word 'droge,' meaning 'dry' or 'dried.' The use of the term evolved in the late 20th century as drug culture became more prevalent and visible in society, particularly during the counterculture movements of the 1960s and 1970s. It began being used to describe individuals whose lives were heavily impacted by drug use, often in a derogatory manner. Over the years, the term has retained its negative connotation, reflecting societal attitudes towards drug addiction and the consequences of substance abuse. Despite its stigmatizing nature, 'druggy' sometimes appears in pop culture and media, further embedding the term into public consciousness.
