Word origin
The word 'weed' originated from the Old English word 'weod', which referred to herbs or grass. Over time, it came to be associated with unwanted plants that grow in gardens or agricultural fields. In modern usage, 'weed' is commonly used to describe both unwanted plants and cannabis, a psychoactive drug. The slang term 'weed' for cannabis became popular in the 20th century, particularly in reference to marijuana.
