Word origin

The word 'trip' originated in the 14th century from the Old French word 'tripe', meaning a journey. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the experience of hallucinations due to drug use. The modern usage of 'trip' reflects both the literal journey and the metaphorical experience of altered perception.
