Etymology
The term 'narced' is derived from the word 'narcotic', which has its roots in the Greek word 'narkōtikós', meaning 'numb' or 'to make numb'. The slang connotation emerged primarily in the late 20th century among drug users and later found its way into the diving community, reflecting the physiological effects of nitrogen narcosis—an alteration of consciousness experienced by divers at deeper depths due to increased nitrogen levels. As recreational activities grew and the culture surrounding them evolved, words like 'narced' became integral to describe the sensations associated with intoxication, especially in younger generations. Today, 'narced' is recognized not only within the context of drug use but also in various social settings where altered states of consciousness are prevalent.
