dope

dope
dope 1807, Amer.Eng., "sauce, gravy, thick liquid," from Du. doop "thick dipping sauce," from doopen "to dip" (Cf. DIP (Cf. dip) (v.)). Extension to "drug" is 1889, from practice of smoking semi-liquid opium preparation. Meaning "foolish, stupid person" is older (1851) and may have a sense of "thick-headed." Sense of "inside information" (1901) may come from knowing before the race which horse had been drugged to influence performance. As a verb, from 1889. Related: Doped; doping. Dope-fiend is attested from 1896.
